Bug#1122902: UDD: lintian results for udeb packages are not properly parsed

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-lint-maint@lists.debian.org
User: qa.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: udd

Hi,

if a package produces a udeb and the udeb package itself triggers a
lintian warning/error, it appears that udd does not properly parse that.

See [1] as an example.

$ lintian libisns-udeb_0.101-1_amd64.udeb
E: libisns-udeb udeb: aliased-location [lib/]
E: libisns-udeb udeb: aliased-location [lib/libisns.so.0]

lintian prepends the string "udeb: " which results in udd having
"udeb:" as the tag name and the actual tag is listed under "information".

I wonder, whether udd should simply strip off the "udeb: " prefix or if
the tagname should be something like "udeb: aliased-location" (assuming
those characters are allowed in tag names.

I've also CCed the lintian maintainers mailing list for their input.

One important aspect here is that udd is used by the testing migration
software and aliased-location is a lintian error that will block testing
migration for regular debian packages.

Regards,
Michael
