Hi,

I am trying to upload raspi-firmware to firmware-non-free (so, NEW),
but have been unable to.

My first attempt, trying to upload basically the same package
currently in non-free (updating the version and some minor details), I
got this reply:

    https://paste.debian.net/1256068/

For my second attempt, I fixed all lintian warnings I considered
relevant (and left some to ask later about). My package now reports
locally:

    $ lintian ../build-area/raspi-firmware_1.20220830+ds-1_amd64.changes
    W: raspi-firmware source: superfluous-file-pattern brcm80211/* [debian/copyright:51]
    W: raspi-firmware source: unknown-field Autobuild
    W: raspi-firmware: unknown-section non-free-firmware/misc
    $ dpkg -l lintian
    Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
    | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
    |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
    ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
    +++-==============-============-============-=================================
    ii  lintian        2.115.3      all          Debian package checker

However, it got rejected again, with even greater prejudice ☹

    https://paste.debian.net/1256069/

FWIW, the diff between both builds is:

    https://salsa.debian.org/gwolf/raspi-firmware/-/commit/5a64e612569b4e293322ab04339f5be41f00c60f

Building from this, however, I got the following reply+reject:

    https://paste.debian.net/1256069/

I just presented this issue in our channel, and KiBi came up with
another set of fixes:

    https://salsa.debian.org/debian/raspi-firmware/-/commit/6a6522160db3e9d74b873e8168bd7a51c2c2ffde
    https://salsa.debian.org/debian/raspi-firmware/-/commit/62e08ca316e69814cec878a36fc3a6a6c97dd5e4

I will now build and re-upload with his fixes applied... but I had
this mail almost finished when he pushed, so I will send it
anyway... so it serves at least as a collective head-scratch 😉

Thanks!
