(Closes: #884676) + [CL] Factor out definition of dependency fields. + [CL] Warn about Python 3 packages that depend on Python 2 packages and vice versa.

(Closes: #884785) * checks/source-copyright.{desc,pm}: + [CL] Check for Apache 2.0 packages that do not distribute their accompanying "NOTICE" files. (Closes: #885042) + [CL] Use the list of files in the orig tarball (rather than in the regular index) to prevent false positives when checking for the source-includes-file-in-files-excluded tag when a patch system re-adds files that were removed.

(Closes: #885106) * data/files/js-libraries: + [CL] Detect embedded jQuery libraries with version number in their filenames (eg. jquery-1.10.2.min.js). (Closes: #833613) + [CL] Also emit embedded-javascript-library for Twitter Bootstrap and "mustache". * data/files/php-libraries: + [CL] Avoid a embedded-php-library false positive for streams.php.

- 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.
