Merge lintian 2.114.0 from Debian unstable

Attached are debdiffs against the current Ubuntu version 2.111.0ubuntu2 and the Debian version 2.114.0. You can also find a built version there: https://launchpad.net/~schopin/+archive/ubuntu/test-ppa/+sourcepub/13195421/+listing-archive-extra (just pop the PPA-related changelog entries)

Updated debdiff against Debian, with a new change removing an unused, non-MIRed dependency.

Updated debdiff against Ubuntu version.

As usual, you'll find the resulting package uploaded to my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~schopin/+archive/ubuntu/test-ppa/+sourcepub/13222724/+listing-archive-extra

Just pop the ~ppaX changelog entries, and voilà.

Thank you! Overall the debdiff is looking good, and I like the way you're avoiding the libio-prompt-tiny-perl MIR.

But we should fixup the "LP #..." (no colon) syntax in debian/changelog and potentially avoid the new MIRs of libdata-validate-uri-perl & libsyntax-keyword-try-perl (or create corresponding MIR template bugs). Maybe we could revert https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/commit/6528e60c214aa5c4b0c723a6f28cb2645123fa8e for now until it actually lands in perl 5.34?

But I guess we'll work on LP: #1959004 first before we tackle this again, to get lintian moving.

Lintian 2.114 introduces lots of new dependencies which require MIR:

* libdata-validate-uri-perl
  + libdata-validate-ip-perl
     - libnet-ipv6addr-perl
       * libmath-bigint-perl
          + libscalar-list-utils-perl
     - libnet-netmask-perl
* libsyntax-keyword-try-perl
  + libxs-parse-keyword-perl
* libencode-perl
* libhtml-tokeparser-simple-perl
* libwww-mechanize-perl
  + libhttp-server-simple-perl
* plzip

It is not possible to avoid perl5.34-related new dependencies as perl5.34 landed in Jammy. Other dependencies are not straightforward to eliminate either.

It's been discussed in the foundations team and it was decided to merge this version and do the MIR (if needed) after the sprint next week.

FWIW, I have given Simon's patches a new try in my PPA at [1], and it successfully built.

Attached the updated debdiff against debian version 2.114 with [1] and I replaced "LP #" into "LP: #" in changelog.

Attached the updated debdiff against 2.111-0ubuntu3.

Thank you. I fixed up some file permissions 644 -> 755 that were screwed up vs the Debian version (probably due to `debdiff` not handling those properly). Other that that this looks sane to me, builds fine and passes lintian :-)

This bug was fixed in the package lintian - 2.114.0ubuntu1
