action needed

version in VCS is newer than in repository, is it time to upload? normal

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 2.106.1+git, distribution UNRELEASED) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:

commit 6eb5bfa7e037184bdb41ef26a527b4a22488f398
Author: Felix Lechner <felix.lechner@lease-up.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 20 17:57:34 2021 -0700

    Only create diffstat when the diff.gz is mentioned in the dsc or the changes. (Closes: #994793)
    
    The erroneous behavior was probably introduced when the cruft check was
    expanded to run also on sources with format 3.0. [1][2] Major portions of the
    check previously only ran on sources with format 1.0.
    
    Before those changes were made, the cruft check was mostly unable to detect
    unwanted files in sources with format 3.0. The issue here lies at the
    intersection of having a diff.gz file present while 3.0 sources are being
    analyzed, and involves a tag relating to source format 1.0.
    
    I used the instructions in the bug to reproduce the condition. The instructions
    worked perfectly on bullseye. (Thank you!) The hint is now gone:

    That was the output before the change was applied. Please note the warning in

    Allow maintainer manual pages for executables also so provided. (Closes: #994689)
    
    For the 'wdm' package mentioned in the bug report, Lintian no longer produces
    any of the related hints:

    Unfortunately, Lintian's website can presently not receive updates. [1]
    
    This commit provides a new, false-positive test case.

commit a802167cacc917acff0aa7905f0812c9a14b759a
Author: Felix Lechner <felix.lechner@lease-up.com>
Date:   Sun Sep 19 11:55:02 2021 -0700

    Exempt empty packages so declared from empty-binary-package. (Closes: #994711)
    
    For the 'gnat' package mentioned in the bug report, Lintian no longer produces
    any hints whatsoever. The lone 'empty-binary-package' tag is gone:
    
        $ bin/lintian /mirror/debian/pool/main/g/gnat/gnat_10.1_all.deb
    
    Unfortunately, Lintian's website can presently not receive updates. [1]
    
    Provides a new, false-positive test case.
    
    Modifies the standard template for d/control, which read in part "This may be
    an empty package", so not all test cases are automatically exempt.
    
    Thank you to Nicolas Boulenguez for bringing this matter to our attention, and
    also for the patch!

commit b9cf3dd9465ce5f696df0606c68753d50379ff77
Author: Felix Lechner <felix.lechner@lease-up.com>
Date:   Wed Sep 15 11:25:35 2021 -0700

    Do not flag missing matches for Files-Excluded; uscan already got rid of them. (Closes: #994271)
    
    These files were removed by uscan, which also reads the information in
    Files-Excluded, and should not be flagged.
    
    Thanks to Lukas Schwaighofer for reporting the issue!
