Package: lintian Version: 2.5.4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, Once build-arch and build-indep are supported by dpkg-buildpackage, hopefully in the next week, and/or are required by Policy, please could you apply the attached patch to move build-arch and build-indep from recommended to required? I kept the debian-rules-missing-recommended-target check and description in case it's of potential use in the future, but otherwise these could also be removed.
