Same with aptitude-robot: W: aptitude-robot: debian-changelog-file-is-a-symlink usr/share/doc/aptitude-robot/changelog.gz But: → debc | fgrep changelog -rw-r--r-- root/root 5390 2021-09-19 15:17 ./usr/share/doc/aptitude-robot/changelog.Debian.gz lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2021-09-19 15:17 ./usr/share/doc/aptitude-robot/changelog.gz -> changelog.Debian.gz > > Unfortunately, Lintian cannot tell from an installation package > > (*.deb) whether it was built from a native source package. Huh? This should be obvious from the binary package version number. > It does not need to imho.

Ack, that should work as well. Although I still don't see how lintian isn't able to determine from a binary package's version number if it's a native or a normal package. (And aptitude-robot is a bit of both respectively inbetween, hence that symlink.)
