+ [RA] Warn that spelling-
for words containing non-ASCII characters. (See #588661)

to update the libtool files oneself. (Closes: #580767)
* checks/
+ [RA] package-
trigger if the dependency is present but not tight enough. Thanks,
gregor herrmann. (Closes: #588156)
+ [RA] Allow a tilde after the compatibility level in the debhelper
dependency. Thanks, Axel Beckert. (Closes: #583777)
+ [RA] Remove dh_testversion-
part of debhelper, so using it now just results in a build failure,
and there are no instances in the archive.
* checks/
+ [RA] Downgrade description-
reporting standards for formatting bugs. (Closes: #587837)
* checks/
+ [RG] Detect embedded copies of HTMLPurifier.

explicitly mention the case of packages that depend on dpatch but
are in 3.0 (quilt) format and to provide more rationale for the
tag. Thanks, Robert Luberda. (Closes: #585657)
* checks/po-debconf:
+ [RA] Ignore comments in po/POTFILES.in. (Closes: #586036)
* checks/rules.desc:
+ [RA] Rephrase the debian-
description to try to be clearer about the ordering requirements.
(Closes: #579964)
* checks/
+ [RA] Improve python-

spelling error false positives. (Closes: #588896)

stronger-
substvars. (Closes: #580494)

+ [ADB] Import "warning" from Lintian::Output, really fixing the
error caused by a non-existent file referenced in a .changes
file. (Closes: #583555, again)
* private/
+ [RG] Hardcode the '$all' virtual facility.
* reporting/
+ [RA] Stop attempting to report unknown tags with a fake
description. This was failing with an error later, and the tag was
probably removed from Lintian and is now erroneous.
* t/runtests:
+ [RA] Add support for skipping raw Debian package and source package
tests.

The "Policy 3.9.0" release.
* Summary of tag changes:

+ Removed:
- arch-any-
- package-
* checks/
+ [RA] Add references for file-size-
checksum-
* checks/
+ [RA] Remove package-
it as desired by the d-i team. xc-package-
replaces it as a pedantic check to encourage switching to the
official name. Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
+ [RA] Add reference for debian-
* checks/
+ [RA] Deprecate references to /usr/share/
debian/
* checks/
+ [RA] Allow Breaks without a version if the broken package is a
virtual package.

packages.

per discusion in debian-devel. (Closes: #587209)

results of du vary based on file system and other factors and make
the tag difficult to test.
* checks/
+ [RG] Check for init.d scripts depending on unknown virtual
facilities.
+ [RA] Remove checkroot from the list of scripts that should use a
virtual dependency since $local_fs is not quite the same and some
packages (cryptsetup) care about the difference. (Closes: #580082)
* checks/
+ [RA] Run man page checks using the en_US.UTF-8 locale now that we
guarantee it exists. Should hopefully fix occasional problems with
col complaining about bad multibyte characters. (Closes: #575661)

* checks/rules.desc:
+ [RA] Add reference for debian-

warning(). (Closes: #583555)
