    (eg. YYYYMMDD-1) without a 0~ suffix. (Closes: #953036)
  * Don't report about using a newer Standards-Version when uploading to
    backports.
  * Clarify the error message when tags are not covered in the testsuite.

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * Also analyse Ubuntu's automatic debug packages which have the
    non-standard suffix .ddeb. (Closes: #951513, #953857)
  * Parse newline escapes correctly in md5sum files. (Closes: #929729)
  * Remove tag pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-library; outside of

  * Add a new tag called bash-completion-with-hashbang.

lintian: Debian package checker

 Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy violations. It
 contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian policy as well as some
 checks for common errors.
 .
 This package is useful for all people who want to check Debian packages for
 compliance with Debian policy. Every Debian maintainer should check packages
 with this tool before uploading them to the archive.
 .
 This version of Lintian is calibrated for Debian Policy version 4.5.0.
