To mention an NMU (Non-Maintainer Upload) the first entry in the changelog should mention "NMU". Though if you are the new maintainer, this is not what you want. > W: s3fs source: changelog-should-mention-nmu > W: s3fs source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 1.40-2 These are triggered if the name and email in the changelog is not byte-for-byte identical with an Uploader or the Maintainer in d/control. If you are doing a NMU, the version should be 1.40-1.1 (or 1.40-2.1, depending on the last uploaded version; I am guessing the former) and (as mentioned above) the first entry in the changelog should mention an NMU. > W: s3fs source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.1 (current is 3.9.2) Valid, check the "upgrading checklist" and then update Standards-Versions in d/control > E: s3fs: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl > This is triggered if your d/copyright mentions "GPL" and "openssl" without having what looks like a "GPL with OpenSSL exception".
