:sadface:
I think this is the lintian tag I hate the most, because (Meta)CPAN doesn't
support signatures, so I'm seeing this tag for each and every update of a
Perl package, and I can't do anything about it.
(I do get your sad face but)
surely you can override those?
As I see it, it's sad that (Meta)CPAN doesnt sign the releases, but that
should not cause everybody else to do have equally poor practices?!?

I guess my frustration stems from the combination of
- lintian being right (there is no OpenPGP signature), so an override
  would be wrong IMO;
- and me being unable to do anything about it.


Cheers,
