(Closes: #356051) + [RA] Check for lines over 80 columns in the most recent entry. Thanks, Guillem Jover. (Closes: #435963) * checks/copyright-file{.desc,}: + [RA] Moved spelling-error-in-copyright check to here. * checks/debconf: + [RA] Go back to not warning about "no" in boolean debconf questions.

Thanks, Damyan Ivanov. (Closes: #454723) * checks/files: + [RA] Warn about packages providing files in /usr/lib/debug that aren't named -dbg. Thanks, Joerg Jaspert. * checks/lintian.desc: + [RA] Add bad-ubuntu-distribution-in-changes-file, merged from the Ubuntu patch. + [RA] Fix the malformed-override long description. Thanks, Stefan Fritsch. * checks/menus{.desc,}: + [RA] Substantial overhaul and expansion of the doc-base control file checks. Patch from Robert Luberda.

Thanks, Stefan Fritsch. (Closes: #454790) + [RA] Check overrides for implausible tags. . * lib/Spelling.pm: + [RA] New module to do general spelling checks for specific misspellings. Based on the previous checks/spelling and a patch by Robert Luberda.
