[Debian-astro-maintainers] supernovas_1.6.0-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Attila Kovacs]

Hi Mechtilde and Thorsten,


The privacy breach warnings are just repeated instances of the same DOI 
badge (SVG file) linked in the upstream `README.md`. I'm not sure why it 
is flagged as a privacy breach in the first place to reference a 
standard Zenodo badge URL. In any case, I have updated the supernovas 
package on salsa (1.6.0-2) adding a patch to the `README.md` to skip the 
badge image, and instead just provide a text link to it. That makes 
lintian happier. I've also added another patch to skip installing the 
duplicate `CHANGELOG.md`, which upstream installs into docdir by 
default, but makes lintian complain about the duplicate changelog.

I think both are examples of lintian being a little over-zealous, but 
the patches are simple, so it's fine by me. They just mean that the 
debian package will need such patches for every future release also, 
unless lintian decides to ease up on the ridiculous warnings.

Thorsten, please upload the updated package (1.6.0-2) from salsa:
