commit 77ce5d244ee8a81ec7efd20e5c63a5e323d32e40
Author: Nilesh Patra <nilesh@iki.fi>
Date:   Sun Sep 28 00:52:56 2025 +0530

    Display the package against which (build-,)depends-obsolete-bootstrap is issued. Adjust tests accordingly. (Addresses: #1065177)
    
    If there are packages which Depends/B-D on more than 1 of
    libjs-bootstrap, libjs-bootstrap4, fonts-glyphicons-halflings this leads
    to "Tried to issue duplicate hint in check fields/package-relations: depends-on-obsolete-bootstrap Depends"
    
    Hence also print the package name against which it is issued to avoid
    the same.

    Suggest solution for tests without purpose
    
    When adding a new test, it took me a while to find out that tests are
    considered with no known purpose if they do not specify any expected results in
    eval/hints, or a `Test-Against` field in eval/desc.
    
    Explicitly suggest the solution if the problem is detected.

    hardening-no-fortify-functions: exclude Rust code
    
    Just like for golang, the Rust compiler also does not support fortify
    functions: all Rust programs I checked are flagged with
    hardening-no-fortify-functions.
    
    Add the `built_with_rust` method and use it to exclude Rust programs from
    the check.

commit a7f6e379fdf5042ce8fdd2a4863ff403cded255a
Author: Rafael Laboissière <rafael@laboissiere.net>
Date:   Thu Sep 18 05:36:36 2025 -0300

    Correctly parse the paragraphs in watch file with format v5
    
    In the previous code, each parsed paragraph began with a newline
    ("\n"). Therefore, the check for "/^version […]/ at the beginning
    fails and the initial paragraph starting with "Version:" is considered
    to be a source paragraph. This may result in false positives for
    debian-watch-not-mangling-version, for instance.
    
    In the code changed by this commit, the parsed paragraphs end with a
    newline, instead.
    
    I did a first attempt at fixing the issue in MR !619. It did not pass
    the Perl::Critic check, because a empty string (`""`) was introduced in
    the code. A quote string (`q{}`) is used now.
    
    Closes: #1115463
