Only worry about them if they are an actual problem. For example. the very-long-line-length-in-source-file can sometime be caused by minified JavaScript, which would need an accompanying source. Other times, it is just a long line of perfectly fine source, so the tag can be ignored. > I also think > "unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2 or apache-2 > [debian/copyright:8]" is a false-positive, and the license line in > the header stanza looks correct to me according to > <https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ > #license-field>. Even though this is covered in the documentation, I have never seen a package actually use a license field in the header stanza. https://salsa.debian.org/rohieb/composefs/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/ copyright?ref_type=heads#L8 As such, lintian just might not be aware it is an option. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
