commit 25583d2229c1d91a709e82ada300760ec79277ab
Author: Andrea Pappacoda <andrea@pappacoda.it>
Date:   Fri Jun 13 13:57:28 2025 +0200

    modprobe: add dh-install-instead-of-dh-installmodules tag
    
    As suggested in
    <https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/590#note_619643>,
    this tag checks for usage of dh_install instead of dh_installmodules for
    maintainer modprobe files.
    
    Since using dh_install explicitly is useful to install stuff under /usr
    before compat 14, this is just an informational tag.
    
    Closes: #1107661

commit 0eb5ac9f662accabb13830cf8d99f2c82807f0e3
Author: Andrea Pappacoda <andrea@pappacoda.it>
Date:   Sun Jun 8 22:35:55 2025 +0200

    modprobe: add file-in-etc-modprobe.d check
    
    This new check warns developers about files inside /etc/modprobe.d,
    encouraging them to move them to the corresponding directory under
    /usr/lib. The warning also reminds of the special handling required for
    the old file inside /etc, as it is considered a conffile.
    
    Originated from
    <https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/merge_requests/136>

commit f1cbffd26f807186b693695ef55ed357c547a5f4
Author: Andrea Pappacoda <andrea@pappacoda.it>
Date:   Sun Jun 8 21:02:01 2025 +0200

    modprobe: add directory-in-modprobe.d check
    
    This new check ensures that the modprobe.d directories do not contain
    directories themselves, as kmod does not support this.
    
    This prevents issues like <https://bugs.debian.org/1105784> from
    happening again.

commit b76def5425373306d0588210fe29c83531b11b82
Author: Andrea Pappacoda <andrea@pappacoda.it>
Date:   Sun Jun 8 20:56:59 2025 +0200

    modprobe: also look for files in /usr/lib/modprobe.d
    
    The modprobe checks now also look inside /usr/lib/modprobe.d together
    with /etc/modprobe.d. modprobe also supports reading conf files from
    directories under /run, /usr/local/lib, and /lib, but packages are not
    supposed to write there so checking them as well does not achieve
    anything.

commit 9a2ca859ab7951056c0297c0abb8d2524f7957d1
Author: Marc Leeman <marc.leeman@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Apr 9 12:42:21 2025 +0200

    package-installs-appimage: correct detection on magic bytes

commit 3cd0c062e6dc8c1fa55ad79435ffaf682ec38768
Author: Marc Leeman <marc.leeman@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Apr 8 09:35:34 2025 +0200

    add test for appimages in debian packages
    
    This test was added because appimages are in essence a black box that is
    pulled into the OS, making the licences, build reproduceability opaque.
    It also introduces security issues.
    
    Therefore, it is best to avoid these and warn about it.

commit 1809c8ed23833a9f921677cea92130f54a122dd0
Author: Alexandre Detiste <tchet@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Apr 21 21:02:28 2025 +0200
