Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
I decided to clean up debian/<package>.maintscript from old obsolete
entries. As a result it only contains one mv_conffile command.
However, Lintian doesn't like that:
E: <package>: missing-call-to-dpkg-maintscript-helper postinst (rm_conffile)
E: <package>: missing-call-to-dpkg-maintscript-helper postrm (rm_conffile)
I see no real problem, though. The single mv_conffile command is added
to postinst and postrm as expected.
If I add back one of the obsolete rm_conffile entries, Lintian gets quiet.
Caveat: This happens with an Ubuntu specific package (language-selector)
when building in an Ubuntu environment.

I made some clean-up of the maintainer scripts in the debian/ directory,
and suddenly those Lintian errors went away.
Problem solved — closing. Sorry about the noise.
