Hi,

(Carlos, are you subscribed to the list? If so I'll stop Cc'ing you.
If not, well, you should :)

Great :)

I can do that once their Origin field documents where they come from,
and they are all forwarded upstream (or documented why it's not
relevant for upstream).

Yes, please.

(Hint: a newer one is in jessie-backports, and quite often the version
from testing/sid works just fine on stable.)

I confirm those are issues with the old Lintian, can't reproduce on sid.

Sure. I've sent this back to Carlos' plate (see above
comments) though.

Cheers!
