Package: libncurses5
Version: 5.6+20081004-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.7
Quote from 12.7:
| Packages that are not Debian-native must contain a compressed copy of
| the debian/changelog file from the Debian source tree in
| /usr/share/doc/package with the name changelog.Debian.gz.
Violation: A debian/changelog with a different version is installed.
It is probably caused by hardlinks between changelogs that are not
enforced to have the same version.
I discovered it this way:
