This bug was fixed in the package lintian - 2.5.1ubuntu1

---------------
lintian (2.5.1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #798513). Remaining changes:
    - Don't warn about a symlinked changelog file in Ubuntu due to CDBS.
    - Add no-upstream-changelog tag to cruft-general-test-suite,
      cruft-general-upstream, cruft-upstream-binaries, fields-no-homepage,
      patch-systems-no-patch-system tests.
    - checks/changelog-file.desc, testset/tags.libbaz: Drop
      debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink tag.
    - t/tests/changelog-file-symlink, t/tests/init.d-symlink: Drop these tests.
    - checks/init.d: fix LP: #496798 again; upstream only took part of our
      patch and the rest of the fix was dropped in the last merge; per
      maintainer's comments in Debian bug #569492, Ubuntu will need to
      carry this fix for the time being
    - Add wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog tag to changelog-file-extra-upstream
      test.
    - t/tests/fields-multi-arch: Do not test invalid Multi-Arch field,
      because dpkg-deb will already fail.
    - Drop debug-symbols-directly-in-usr-lib-debug from binaries-general.
  * Dropped changes:
    - Prefer libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.93) to perl (>= 5.12).
  * Cherry-pick 5d5a40f from upstream to fix tests broken by 3.8.1 becoming
    ancient earlier this week. (Thanks to Niels Thykier)

lintian (2.5.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - bad-perm-for-file-in-etc-sudoers.d
      - debian-rules-missing-recommended-target
      - dh_pycentral-is-obsolete
      - dh_python-is-obsolete
      - illegal-multi-arch-value
      - non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file
    + Removed:
      - uses-dh-python-with-no-pycompat
      - ldconfig-symlink-before-shlib-in-deb

  * checks/binaries:
    + [NT] Applied patch from Paul Wise to detect binaries embeddeding
      glee, glew and libtheora. (Closes: #629288)
    + [NT] Also consider multiarch dirs when looking for public shared
      libraries. (Closes: #630164)
  * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
    + [NT] Recognise that dh_python and dh_pycentral are now obsolete.
      (Closes: #496902, #541978)
  * checks/changes-file:
    + [NT] Always verify the checksums of changes-files.
  * checks/copyright-file:
    + [NT] Extended current dh_make template checks. Thanks to
      Nelson A. de Oliveira for the patch. (Closes: #598412)
  * checks/fields{,.desc}:
    + [NT] Allow "all" and "any" to appear together in the Architecture
      field of a .dsc file. (Closes: #626775)
    + [NT] Added illegal-multi-arch-value. (Closes: #616493)
  * checks/files:
    + [NT] Fixed two misnamed udeb tags, which lead to an internal
      error if triggered. Thanks to Guillem Jover for the report.
      (Closes: #628754)
    + [NT] Added bad-perm-for-file-in-etc-sudoers.d tag.
      (Closes: #588831)
    + [CW] Do not issue missing-pre-dependency-on-multiarch-support for
      udebs.
    + [NT] Limit missing-pre-dependency-on-multiarch-support to real
      files only. Previously it would also check symlinks.
      (Closes: #629648)
  * checks/java{,.desc}:
    + [NT] Sort the jar files by name, so they are checked in the same
      order.
    + [NT] Improved the description of classpath-contains-relative-path.
      (Closes: #629189)
    + [NT] Reduced false-positives of classpath-contains-relative-path.
      Relative classpaths are now okay if they point to jar files in
      /usr/share/java (but not subdirs thereof) and there is a strong
      libX-java dependency. Alternatively if the classpath points to
      a file or a symlink in the package itself, then it is also okay.
    + [NT] Allow maven plugins to be without classpaths.
      (Closes: #629056)
  * checks/manpages.desc:
    + [ADB] Don't suggest using debmake's output as a reference. The
      package is not even in oldstable any more.
  * checks/md5sums.desc:
    + [ADB] Drop references to obsolete debstd. Thanks to Steve Langasek
      for the pointer.
  * checks/rules:
    + [NT] Removed code for handling packages with dh_python.
    + [NT] Fixed the code for determining Build-Depends for python
      packages. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for the patch.
      (Closes: #614876, #616553)
    + [NT] Applied patch from Roger Leigh to implement the check for
      rules files missing the build-arch and build-indep targets.
      (Closes: #605012)
  * checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
    + [NT] Added non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file. (Closes: #628673)
    + [NT] Removed ldconfig-symlink-before-shlib-in-deb.

  * collection/java:
    + [NT] Fixed a regex that would accept any file ending with "jar" to
      be a jar file rather than only accepting ".jar". This fixes a
      number of false-positives java checks.
  * collection/unpacked:
    + [NT] Added support for unpacking source packages using libdpkg-perl,
      instead of dpkg-source, if the latter is not present.
      (Closes: #626476)

  * data/binaries/multiarch-dirs:
    + [NT] New file - maps architectures to multiarch dirs.
  * data/fields/{perl-provides,virtual-packages}:
    + [NT] Refreshed. (Closes: #627082, #627431)
  * data/output/ftp-master-*:
    + [NT] Refreshed.
  * data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs:
    + [NT] Updated ldconfig path for i386 multiarch paths. Thanks to
      Raphaël Hertzog for the reminder.
  * data/spelling/corrections-multiword:
    + [CW] Remove the "requires to" correction; it has too many common
      false positives, especially involving relative clauses.
      (Closes: #625886)

  * debian/control:
    + [NT] (Build-)Dependency changes.
      - xz-lzma is now preferred to lzma as Build-Dependency
      - Added depends on libdpkg-perl
      - Reduced dpkg-dev to a suggests, we can use libdpkg-perl as
        fallback.
      - Explicitly depends on bzip2 to always support bz2 source packages.
      - Added xz-utils as suggests - needed for .xz source packages.

  * doc/lintian.xml:
    + [NT] Clarify that the package type is not listed in the output for
      binary packages. (Closes: #629193)

  * frontend/lintian:
    + [NT] Allow some options to be put into the lintianrc file.
      (Closes: #460350)
    + [NT] Added --no-cfg option that can be specified if no config
      file should be read.
    + [NT] Deprecated --checksums (also known as --md5sums and -m).
      Lintian will now always verify the checksums in changes files.
      The options will be accepted with a warning for now, but may
      be removed in a later release. (Closes: #629453)
    + [NT] Fixed an issue where fail was called before it was
      available. Thanks to Toby Corkindale for the report.
      (Closes: #630560, LP: #797553)

  * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
    + [NT] Output the name of the check and the type of the check
      along with the description of the tag.
  * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
    + [NT] Fixed a flaw in logic that gave incorrect results for
      architecture dependent overrides. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for
      the report and the patch. (Closes: #626587)

  * man/lintian.pod.in:
    + [NT] Mentioned that --checksums and aliases are deprecated.

  * unpack/list-srcpkg:
    + [ADB] Don't rely on the order of fields in the Sources file. The
      files produced by the Debian archive no longer follow the order
      which the code previously assumed, and we shouldn't assume that
      the order won't change again in the future. (Closes: #626597)
