Hi,

Thanks for filing this bug and setting affects. The other two bugs
were merged into this one.

> AIUI lintian in git has a fix/workaround.

It was not a workaround. Lintian stopped using liblist-moreutils-perl
in the development head for unrelated reasons before the new version
was uploaded. (For details, please see Bug#977419.)

Also, in case it is helpful, the new version of 'any' seemed to behave
differently with the somewhat awkward use of $_[0] here.

    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/blob/2.104.0/checks/fields/package-relations.pm#L129

That code was likewise replaced for unrelated reasons, and is no
longer available in Lintian.

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
