  * checks/control-file.desc:
    + [CL] Correct location of "AutomaticDebugPackages" wiki page in the
      description of the debian-control-has-obsolete-dbg-package tag.
      Thanks to Antonio Ospite for the report.  (Closes: #893480)
  * checks/cruft.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Add a pedantic warning for upstream tarballs that contain empty
      directories as these can cause problems with git-buildpackage.
      Thanks to Balint Reczey for the idea!  (Closes: #894368)
  * checks/gir.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Apply a patch series from Simon McVittie to match the Gobject
      Introspection policy and fixing a series of false-positives. Thanks!
      (Closes: #881491)
  * checks/java.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Apply patch from Bas Couwenberg to bump the maximum permissible
      bytecode version number now that openjdk-9 is now the default-jdk.
      (Closes: #894397)
    + [CL] Apply patch from Bas Couwenberg to update the description of
      the unknown-java-class-version tag for openjdk-9.  (Closes: #894397)
  * checks/files.pm:
    + [CL] Add .ogg files to the list of non-license file extensions to
      avoid a false-positive in extra-license-file. Thanks to Innocent De
      Marchi for the report.  (Closes: #894139)
    + [CL] Avoid false-positives in Mallard XML files; <link href="...">
      tags are anchor element and not followed automatically. Thanks to
      Simon McVittie for the report.  (Closes: #894690)
  * checks/rules.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Stop recommending that packages with repacked tarballs specify a
      get-orig-source target; this was removed in Debian Policy 4.1.4 in
      favour of uscan(1) and debian/watch.
    + [CL] Warn about packages that have apparently unnecessary
      "get-orig-source" targets such as single-line calls to uscan(1).
      Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the idea.  (Closes: #895036)
  * checks/scripts.pm:
    + [CL] Also include the offending/unknown shebang in the output of
      missing (unversioned) interpreters.
  * checks/source-copyright.desc:
    + [CL] Change the severity from pedantic ("P:") to info ("I:") for the
      missing-explanation-for-repacked-upstream-tarball tag.
  * checks/testsuite.{desc,pm}:
    + [CL] Apply patch from Georg Faerber to add missing "needs-reboot" to
      the list of known autopkgtest restrictions.  (Closes: #894817)
    + [CL] Apply patch from Georg Faerber to adjust the autopkgtest
      URIs from Alioth to salsa.debian.org.  (Closes: #894820)
  * checks/udev.pm:
    + [CL] Apply patch from Thomas Dallmair to avoid false positives in the
      udev-rule-missing-subsystem tag when SUBSYSTEM GOTO is not the last
      "GOTO" statement.  Thanks!  (Closes: #894356)
  * checks/upstream-metadata.pm:
    + [CL] Re-enable YAML parsing of upstream metadata which was disabled
      in 2.5.51 (via #861958) to close CVE-2017-8829 as we can now use the
      $LoadBlessed option of YAML::XS if we have version 0.69 or above
      Thanks to Dylan Aïssi for the report.  (Closes: #894747)

  * commands/lintian.pm, checks/{fields,patch-systems,python}, ...:
    + [CL] Apply patch from Ville Skyttä correcting many spelling mistakes
      in Lintian itself.  Thanks!  (Closes: #894834)

  * data/standards-version/release-dates:
    + [CL] Add 4.1.4 as a known Standards-Version.
  * data/spelling/corrections:
    + [PW] Add a number of corrections.

  * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
    + [CL] Avoid false positives in spelling detection by allowing "(s)"
      suffixes instead of universally stripping all parenthesis.  This
      prevents, for example, "directory(s)" from triggering false-positive
      whilst still warning about "directorys".  Thanks to Patrick Matthäi
      for the report.  (Closes: #894077)
  * lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
    + [NT] Fix a bug in do_fork that could cause lintian to fork bomb.
      (See #890873)
