   [ Axel Beckert ]
   * Adopting Lintian. (Changes #1012289 from ITA to pure RFH.)
     + Remove Chris Lamb from Uploaders (see #1012289) and re-add myself.
   * Workarounds until
     https://github.com/Perl-Critic/Perl-Critic/issues/925 is fixed:
     + Replace all occurrences of "Copyright ©" with "Copyright (C)" again.
     + Remove unnecessary usage of UTF-8 from bin/lintian.
     + Replace UTF-8 characters in mostly Copyright comments.
     + Replace UTF-8 characters in code with \N{…}.
   * Remove literal unicode character U+0334 COMBINING TILDE OVERLAY which
     likely had been added accidentally. (Triggered by the symptoms of
     https://github.com/Perl-Critic/Perl-Critic/issues/925, but permanent.)
   * Update copyright years in debian/copyright.
   * Run perltidy over lib, bin/lintian, private/refresh-perl-provides,
     private/runtests and several files in t/scripts/.
   * data/…/perl-provides updated by running "debian/rules
     refresh-perl-provides".
   * Add Felix Lechner to debian/copyright based on copyright statements
     elsewhere. Thanks for all your contributions!
   * Update t/recipes/README: "debian/rules runtests" → "private/runtests"
   * Follow module renaming: Perl::Critic::Freenode → Perl::…::Community.
   * t/s…/h…/tag-coverage.t: Replace "$ENV{'LINTIAN_BASE'}" with
     "$ENV{'LINTIAN_BASE'} // '.'" to be able to run it with "prove -l".
   * init.d-general check: Avoid relying on line numbers in #DEBHELPER#
     replacement code.
   * very-long-line-length-in-source-file: Ignore files listed in new data
     file binary-file-extensions. (Closes: #1005046)
   * Fix false positives for adopted-extended-field with X- prefixed
     fields. (Closes: #999768)
     + Empty hints files seem to require a Test-Against field in desc.
   * Update own source lintian-overrides for "pointed hints".
     + Make them work with old and new lintian versions by using wildcards.
   * Rename README.developers to have a proper file suffix (.pod).
   * Switch syntax marker of README.developers.pod from "perl" to "pod".
   * Documentation update: Replace directory "frontend/" with "bin/".
   * Fix a bunch of "Use of uninitialized value $_ in concatenation"
     warnings when running tests with "prove -l" directly.
   * README.developers.pod: Explain the difference between check and test.
   * lintian(1): Drop mentioning of never existing --no-overrides option.
   * Replace unfitting Text::Glob with more flexible Regexp::Wildcards
     (Closes: #1003353)
     + Add unit test for Lintian::Util::match_glob. The current testsuite
       does not seem to be able to cover such a case.
   * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.6.1. (No changes needed.)
   * Refresh data using private/refresh-data. Skip unreleased policy though
     for now.
   * Fix "Use of uninitialized value $step in concatenation" in
     Lintian::Version which showed up as unrecognized tag (!) when running
     the test suite on the git repo already tagged for a release.
   * debian/gbp.conf: Declare so far used tag format so that gbp uses it.
   * Add lintian override for very-long-line-length-in-source-file in
     Lintian::Check::Cruft as well as test-leaves-python-version-untested.
   * Use versioned Breaks instead of Conflicts against lzd, see #1001655.
     Thanks Lintian for reporting ;-) and Paul Gevers for the sanity check!
 .
