lintian 2.5.122 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

lintian (2.5.122) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - example-incorrect-path-for-interpreter
      - incorrect-path-for-interpreter
      - package-contains-real-file-outside-usr
      - zero-byte-executable-in-path

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Add a check for empty executable files in PATH; these files do not do
    anything and produce no error message. (Closes: #919458)
  * Prevent false-positives in the
    maintainer-script-should-not-use-dpkg-maintscript-helper tag by adding
    optional support for ignoring sections automatically added by
    debhelper. (Closes: #917567)
  * Split the wrong-path-for-interpreter tag into "wrong" and "incorrect"
    variants, the latter with a reduced severity and capturing incorrect
    (but working) shebangs such as "#!/usr/bin/env perl". Thanks to Ivo De
    Decker for the report. (Closes: #917790)
  * Update Debian Policy regex and manual references since this document
    moved to Sphinx. (Closes: #918963)
  * Also update the Java policy references as a new version of Docbook
    generates different HTML links.
  * Tests:
    - Tidy "sorry" message in t/runtests.
    - Drop changelog-format.t tests now we are trialling using gbp-dch.
    - Add a note that using a "maintainer-script-should-not-" tag prefix
      ensures that the tag will automatically pass the internal coverage
      tests.
  * debian/control:
    - Clarify some grammar in the package long description.
    - Prune Uploaders field to the current members of the "lintian" LDAP
      group. With thanks to all who have contributed in the past.

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * Always use the extracted testing code in autopkgtests. (Closes: #919096)
  * Exit test runner with error code after parsing errors on the command line.
  * Convert test modules to the "Test Anything Protocol" (TAP).
    - Run TAP scripts for all tests through TAP::Harness. (MR: !124)
    - Add a generic test script for TAP::Harness.
    - Add name of the generic TAP script to the default settings.
    - Install generic TAP script into work directories during preparation.
  * Make harness timestamp calculation more robust for non-existent files.
  * Always use the installed "dplint" in autopkgtests.

  [ Josh Triplett ]
  * Add a pedantic-level package-contains-real-file-outside-usr tag to
    detect files installed to /. (MR: !128)

  [ Paul Wise ]
  * Add several spelling corrections.
