Attaching a debdiff that makes revu-report test $BASENAME.lintian, thus reporting a happy lintian iff the file size is zero.

The patch above did not stick to the native debian versioning, which I understand it should to have. So I'm attaching a new (hopefully better) patch. This one also updates the Standards-Version to 3.8.0.

It seems that part of my comment didn't get into the report.
Lintian is not happy with the package (running lintian on the .dsc and .deb file gives some errors) can you take care of them too please.

Un-assigning me, setting importance to low and setting status back to triaged. Will attach new debdiff soon.

Attaching new debdiff: added some some extra fixes after nxvl noted lintian was not happy with the revu-tools package itself.

+revu-tools (0.6.1.4) intrepid; urgency=low

+ * debian/control: update standards version to 3.8.0.

Even though the original idea of the empty directory warning doesn't apply for /usr/share/revu-tools/ it is still completely valid IMHO - this directory should be created by postinst and removed upon purge. I removed this change.
