Tag: debian-changelog-file-missing-or-wrong-name Severity: error Check: debian/changelog Explanation: Each Debian package (which provides a /usr/share/doc/*pkg* directory) must install a Debian changelog file in /usr/share/doc/*pkg*/changelog.Debian.gz . A common error is to name the Debian changelog like an upstream changelog (/usr/share/doc/*pkg*/changelog.gz); therefore, Lintian will apply further checks to such a file if it exists even after issuing this error.
