Hi Andreas, On Wed, Nov 4, 2020 at 9:15 AM Andreas Metzler <ametzler@bebt.de> wrote: > > However the Debian changelog file is not a symlink, only the upstream > one. Unfortunately, Lintian cannot tell from an installation package (*.deb) whether it was built from a native source package. Possible solutions are: 1. Via policy, prescribe a constant basename for Debian changelogs, regardless of "nativeness". 2. In installation packages, add information about nativeness to the control files in DEBIAN/. Kind regards Felix Lechner
