Bug Description

Binary package hint: lintian

I got a lintian ERROR[1] when i check one of my package. I think ubuntu should hide this error, because some package already use lzma as the compress method, such as ttf-arphic-uming[2]

    + [RA] Using UTF-8 is now a Policy must and hence serious.

      appropriate, for packages shipping directories or files in /var/lock
      or /var/run. See policy bug #514326.
  * checks/menus{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Revert the change to not require update-menus in postinst.
      This is still needed due to #518919.  Don't require update-menus in
      postrm for regular menu files, only for menu-methods, but also don't
      warn if it's present.  (Closes: #519300)
  * checks/scripts:
    + [RA] Policy allows scripts to assume that /bin/sh supports local
      with simple variable assignments.
    + [ADB] Check all added and removed diversions at once rather than
      as each maintainer script is processed.  This avoids differing
      results and false positives if the postrm is processed before other
      maintainer scripts.  (Closes: #518966)

    + [RA] Fix POD errors.
  * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
    + [RA] Fix POD errors.

* private/refresh-debhelper-data:
    + [RA] Remove symlinks as a (possibly temporary) workaround to
      packages that contain broken links to dh_* commands.
    + [RA] Exclude dh_gencontrol from debhelper commands that set
      ${misc:Depends} since it only sets it to empty when not already
      set.
  * private/refresh-fonts-data:
    + [RA] Correctly handle not specifying a Contents file on the command
      line.

* t/runtests:
    + [RA] Add support for running test scripts under t/scripts via prove
      (the standard Perl test harness).

    + [RA] Avoid capturing parentheses in regexes due to their minor
      performance penalty.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
    + [RA] Report apparently truncated ELF binaries separately from

    + [RA] Add pedantic tag for weird spacing after the colon of a field.
  * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Avoid capturing parentheses in regexes due to their minor
      performance penalty.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
    + [RA] Avoid false positive for versionless license files when the
      file is referred to without a hyphen; instead, issue a separate tag
      that explains the problem.  Based on a patch from Raphael Geissert.
      (Closes: #517191)
    + [RA] Allow commas between the GFDL license name and version when
      suppressing false positives for the 1.1 version.  Thanks, Aurelien

      Geissert.
    + [RA] Load Lintian::Data objects only once.  Patch from Raphael
      Geissert.  Also use all caps for global variables.

      get the list of known architectures.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
  * checks/files{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Avoid capturing parentheses in regexes due to their minor
      performance penalty.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.

      installed version of man supports the --warnings option.

      longer required unless menu-methods are installed.  Thanks, Eric
      Lavarde.  (Closes: #518712)
    + [RA] Explicit install-docs calls are no longer needed since doc-base
      registration is done with triggers.  (Closes: #518801)

      octave3.1 and remove jruby0.9)
    + [RA] Diagnose various problems with creating and removing
      diversions.  Based on a patch by Jörg Sommer.  (Closes: #516221)
  * checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:

      occurs between the end of the dependency template(s) and the start of
      the symbol list.  The code that was intended to check this resulted
      in a false positive syntax error being generated if a file with
      alternative dependency templates used meta-information.
    + [ADB] Extend the parsing of dependency templates in symbols files to
      handle ORed dependencies.
    + [ADB] Use Lintian::Relation rather than Dep.
    + [ADB] Avoid capturing parentheses in regexes due to their minor
      performance penalty.

      matches the installed location of the *.la file.  Based on a patch
      by Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #302196)

      Patch from Raphael Geissert.
    + [RA] Create marker files in the laboratory for each collect script
      that has successfully including its current version number.  Use
      these marker files rather than the existence of output files to
      determine when to run collect scripts.  Re-run collect scripts if
      the current version doesn't match what's in the lab.  Patch from
      Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #517650)
    + [RA] Add oldstable to the known distributions for *.changes files.

* lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
    + [RA] Recognize truncated binaries.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
  * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
    + [RA] Add support for running commands in the background using a
      final argument of '&'.  Allow reap() to take multiple opt hashes and
      reap all of them in a loop.  Add a kill() function to kill
      outstanding jobs.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
  * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
    + [RA] Strip leading whitespace from continued lines.

    + [RA] Optimize the spell-checking algorithm.  Patch from Raphael
      Geissert.  (Closes: #514495)
  * lib/Util.pm:
    + [RA] Fully comply with Policy in whitespace handling when parsing
      Debian control files.  Multiline fields will now have the leading
      whitespace of subsequent lines left in, and leading tabs are no
      longer handled specially.  Trailing whitespace is now uniformly
      stripped, as is leading whitespace on the first field line.

* man/lintian.1:
    + [RA] Document strings collect script.

    + [RA] Script from Raphael Geissert to refresh known architectures.

      package in parallel where possible.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
  * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l1:
    + [RA] When processing tar output, we may not get complete lines at a
      time.  Save partial lines and glue them back together again when we
      get the next burst of data.  (Closes: #517899)
    + [RA] Do a little bit of parallelization when writing out the sorted
      index of the source package.
    + [RA] Ignore leading whitespace in the Files section.

      - unsupported-source-format

* checks/binaries:
    + [RA] When checking for dependencies on libc, don't use /o on the
      regex.  Otherwise, lintian produces false positives when run on
      multiple packages with different architectures, since the libc
      package name is not the same on all architectures.  Thanks to
      Raphael Geissert for the report.  (Closes: #516067)
    + [RA] Check for binaries from other architectures than the declared
      architecture of the package outside of known multiarch directories.
      Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #513996)
    + [RA] Check the data section of ELF binaries for spelling errors.

  * checks/common_data.pm:
    + [RA] Virtual packages now come from data.

      upstream file as the upstrema changelog.  (Closes: #515601)
    + [RA] Fix improbable-bug-number-in-closes so that it works.
  * checks/control-file:
    + [ADB] Properly exclude packages built from the glibc source package
      from the "hardcoded depends on libc" test.  (Closes: #515831)
  * checks/cruft:
    + [RA] For Format: 2.0 and Format: 3.0 (quilt) packages, check
      the *.debian.tar.(gz|bz2|lzma) contents instead of expecting
      diffstat output.  (Closes: #515069)

      like part of a test suite.  The files may be part of the test
      cases.  (Closes: #515137)
  * checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Recognize data.tar.lzma binary package components and use a
      different tag than malformed-deb-archive.
  * checks/description:
    + [ADB] Warn of homepages embedded in the description which use the
      syntax "Homepage: <http://example.com>" using the warning level
      tag description-contains-homepage rather than the info level tag
      description-possibly-contains-homepage.  (Closes: #515998)

      yahoo.js as there are similarly named, but unrelated, scripts in

      tags to "possible" as they trigger purely on filenames and not
      content.  (Closes: #515690)

      Raphael Geissert.
    + [RA] Only take the first space after a field name as the separator
      and treat the rest as part of the field value so that other parts of
