      - unnecessary-team-upload

  * checks/changelog-file.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Warn about packages that modify the epoch and there's no comment
      about the change. This was motivated by accidental bumping of the
      epoch in my python-django 2:2.0-1 upload.
  * checks/elpa.desc:
    + [CL] Correct reference to dh_elpa(1) manpage. Thanks to Paul Gevers

      repositories to the list of known insecure URIs.  (Closes: #883121)
  * checks/nmu.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Warn if a "Team upload" (ie. that string is present in the
      changelog) but the uploader is among the Maintainer/Uploaders.
      (Closes: #882954)
  * checks/python.desc:
    + [CL] Raise the severity of the
      "dependency-on-python-version-marked-for-end-of-life" and
      "python-foo-but-no-python3-foo" Python 2.x deprecation tags to
      regular warnings.  (Closes: #883581)
  * checks/source-copyright.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Warn when files specified in Files-Excluded exist in the source
      tree.  (Closes: #871454)

  * data/spelling/corrections:
    + [PW] Add a number of corrections.
    + [CL] Remove "german|German" and "russian|Russian" entries - they are
      covered by data/spelling/corrections-case.  (Closes: #883041)

  * data/standards-version/release-dates:
    + [AB] Add 4.1.2 as known standards version.
    + [AB] Suggest "date +%s -s …" instead of libtimedate-perl.

  * debian/control:
    + [AB] Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.2.
    + [AB] Mention Debian Policy 4.1.2 in long package description.

  * t/runtests:
    + [AB] Use standards version 4.1.2 in tests.
  * t/scripts/spellintian.t:
    + [AB] Add two checks for common mistakes in d…/spelling/corrections:
      "iff" is a valid word (c.f. #865055) and case-only misspellings
      belong into data/spelling/corrections-case.

lintian: Debian package checker

 Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
 violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
 policy as well as some checks for common errors.
 .
 It uses an archive directory, called laboratory, in which it stores
 information about the packages it examines. It can keep this
 information between multiple invocations in order to avoid repeating
 expensive data-collection operations. This makes it possible to check the
 complete Debian archive for bugs, in a reasonable time.
 .
 This package is useful for all people who want to check Debian
 packages for compliance with Debian policy. Every Debian maintainer
 should check packages with this tool before uploading them to the
 archive.
 .
 This version of Lintian is calibrated for policy version 4.1.4.
