Package: dpkg-dev-el
Version: 35.12
Severity: minor
Control: affects -1 lintian
when i open debian/NEWS in emacs, i end up in debian-changelog mode,
which encourages me to use bulleted lists like a regular changelog.
But lintian complains:
0 dkg@alice:~$ lintian-info --tags debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk
I: debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk
N:
N: The latest entry in NEWS.Debian appears to use asterisks to present
N: changes in a bulleted list, similar to the normal changelog syntax.
N: The Debian Developer's Reference recommends using regular paragraphs
N: in NEWS.Debian rather than a bulleted list.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.3.4 (Supplementing
N: changelogs with NEWS.Debian files) for details.
N:
N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible
N:
N: Check: changelog-file, Type: binary
N:
0 dkg@alice:~$
it'd be nice to have these two things aligned.
