commit 430441c8683f0117f5fb239bb27796e4f3e70233
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@debian.org>
Date:   Tue Feb 17 20:39:27 2026 +0530

    Reword a few lines varies-content-with-nocheck.tag

commit f203166b2d3cacee2f57635df10256030885cf8c
Author: Maytham Alsudany <maytha8thedev@gmail.com>
Date:   Wed Jan 22 16:39:52 2025 +0800

    Check for obsolete packages in debian/tests/control
    
    This commit adds an obsolete package check for testsuite dependencies to
    the testsuite check, using the same logic as the normal obsolete package
    check. This also introduces two new tags to distinguish obsolete
    testsuite dependencies.
    
    Closes: #1091166

commit 861d1d7cd5cef2d86d3537b9ff67ea2e721ceaba
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@riseup.net>
Date:   Thu Feb 5 21:10:47 2026 +0530

Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@riseup.net>
Date:   Wed Feb 4 00:27:07 2026 +0530

    Add tests to detect buildsystem with cdbs along with/without debhelper

commit 5da98cc29356be4dab18f6b7d7036313cec85d3e
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@riseup.net>
Date:   Thu Feb 5 21:21:34 2026 +0530

    Drop lintian-git test from d/salsa-ci.yml (Closes: #1127003)
    
    The default autopkgtest also achieves the exact same result and it
    is not fruitful to have another lintian-git with the same set of checks.
    
    See https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/512 for
    more info.
