Changes: 
 lintian (2.5.8) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   Its like 2.5.7, only with less false positives and no FTBFS.
 .
   * checks/binaries{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Fix a too strict regex causing false-positives for
       biarch packages.  This was a regression introduced in
       version 2.5.7.  Thanks to Sven Joachim for reporting it.
       (Closes: #673106)
     + [NT] Demote certainty of hardening-no-stackprotector to
       wild-guess and move it to debian/extra-hardening profile.
     + [NT] Skip hardening-no-fortify-functions for binaries only
       using the unprotected memcpy.  This greatly reduces the
       number of false positives for binaries compiled with
       gcc-4.7 -O2 (or higher optimization).  (Closes: #673112)
   * checks/files:
     + [NT] Properly handle symlinks in icon directories.  Thanks
       to Nicholas Breen for the report and Felix Geyer for the
       patches.  (Closes: #673352)
     + [NT] Ignore wrong sizes on images in animations as it may
       be a method to implement the animation.  Thanks to Matthias
       Klumpp for the report and Felix Geyer for the patch.
       (Closes: #673862)
     + [NT] Ignore wrong icon sizes if the size difference is at
       most 2px.  Thanks to Felix Geyer for the patch.
   * checks/scripts:
     + [NT] Refactor the %versioned_interpreters into a new
       data file.
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [NT] Fix false positive "dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink"
       for shared libraries using "libtool -release X.Y".
       Thanks to Sven Joachim for the report.  (Closes: #673109)
     + [NT] Fix false positive "dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink"
       for shared libraries installed in /lib.  Lintian now
       correctly expects the dev-symlink beneath /usr/lib.
       Thanks to Guillem Jover for the report.
   * checks/source-copyright:
     + [NT] Use the in-memory contents of the copyright file
       instead of re-reading the file when parsing it as a
       DEP-5 copyright file.
 .
   * collection/objdump-info{,.desc}:
     + [NT] Drop -D flag for readelf when looking for symbols.
       This makes some checks more reliable in Ubuntu.  Thanks
       to Marc Deslauriers for the report and the patch.
       (Closes: #673451)
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [NT] Add versioned Build-Depends on dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~)
       as the test suite relies on it.  Thanks to Luca Falavigna
       for reporting it.
     + [NT] Update the description to mention that the version
       of Lintian is calibrated for version 3.9.3 of the Policy.
   * debian/lintian.install:
     + [NT] Remove usr/share/lintian/data - Lintian does not
       need it and dpkg will not replace the dir with a symlink.
 .
   * data/scripts/interpreters:
     + [NT] Add falcon, gbr3, jython and ngp2 as known interpreters.
       (Closes: #669911, #671387, #662134, #667895)
   * data/scripts/versioned-interpreters:
     + [NT] New file.
     + [NT] Added python2.7 to the list of known Python 2 interpreters.
   * data/spelling/corrections:
     + [RA] Remove corrections for "writeable" and "overwriteable".  These
       spellings are permitted by the OED in UK English.  (Closes: #673611)
     + [NT] Add correction for "pointer".
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/*.pm:
     + [NT] Localize "$_" to avoid truncating caller's variable.
       (Closes: #673613)
 .
   * t:
     + [NT] Generate empty ".so" files used in the test.  This
       resolves an issue where dpkg-source would exclude them
       causing a FTBFS.  (Closes: #673198)
     + [NT] Fix test failure in derivatives where some hardening
       flags are enabled by default.  Thanks to Marc Deslauriers
       for the report and the patch.  (Closes: #673449)
