      generated by Halibut. (Closes: #867673)
    + [CL] Move r-data-without-readme-source to check the source package,

      in binary packages. (Closes: #866322)

      (not just .Rdata) files in r-data-without-readme-source.

      tkx does not seem to be in Debian any longer.
  * checks/files.pm:
    + [CL] Add .yml to the list of file extensions to avoid false
      positives when emitting extra-license-file, with testcase. Thanks
      to Rene Engelhard for the report.  (Closes: #856137)

      (Closes: #828720)
  * commands/reporting-sync-state:
    + [NT] Re-encode checksums into base64 encoded strings (from hex).

      harness cache.

      which fixes mojibake in the Debian Policy Manual links.  Thanks to
      Paul Hardy for finding a solution to the problem.
      (Closes: #802721)
    + [NT] Override dh_autoreconf tools as they are not used (but need to
      scan over all files in the source package).

  * lib/Lintian/Collect/Source.pm:
    + [CL] Improve support for "3.0 (git)" packages. They are still marked
      as unsupported-source-format as they are not accepted by the Debian
      archive.  (Closes: #605999)
