Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.65
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

Please warn about packages that override dh_fixperms without
calling dh_fixperms

Not doing this can result in packages inheriting the umask(2)
of the build process, rendering the package unreproducible.

(See, for example, #885909.)


Regards,
