+ from the same source package and pkg foo declares a "Depends" relation
+ on bar.

+ version as <i>pkg1</i>.
+ .
+ Note, that adding the "Depends:" entry just to fix this bug is not a good

+ the Unicode character set.
+ .
+ There are many ways to convert a copyright file from an obsoleted encoding
+ like ISO-8859-1; you may for example use "iconv" like:
+ .
+ $ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 copyright > copyright.new
+ $ mv copyright.new copyright

+Tag: copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate
+Type: warning
+Ref: policy 12.5
+Info: The string "Please also look if..." appears in the copyright
+ file, which indicates that you either didn't check the whole source
+ to find additional copyright/license, or that you didn't remove that
+ paragraph after having done so.
+
+Tag: copyright-contains-dh-make-perl-boilerplate
+Type: warning

+
+Tag: copyright-without-copyright-notice
+Type: warning
+Ref: http://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html
+Info: The copyright file for this package does not appear to contain a
+ copyright notice. You should copy the copyright notice from the upstream
+ source (or add one of your own for a native package). A copyright notice
+ must consist of Copyright, Copr., or the Unicode symbol of C in a circle
+ followed by the years and the copyright holder. A copyright notice is
+ not required for a work to be copyrighted, but Debian requires the
+ copyright file include the authors and years of copyright, and including
+ a valid copyright notice is the best way to do that.
+ .
+ If the package is in the public domain rather than copyrighted, be sure
+ to mention "public domain" in the copyright file. Please be aware that
+ this is very rare and not the same as a DFSG-free license. True public
+ domain software is generally limited to such special cases as a work
+ product of a United States government agency.

+Tag: spelling-error-in-copyright
+Type: warning
+Info: Lintian found a spelling error in the copyright file. Lintian has a
+ list of common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a
+ dictionary like a spelling checker does.
+
+Tag: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl
+Type: warning
+Info: This package appears to be covered by the GNU GPL but depends on
+ the OpenSSL libssl package and does not mention a license exemption or
+ exception for OpenSSL in its copyright file. The GPL (including version
+ 3) is incompatible with some terms of the OpenSSL license, and therefore
+ Debian does not allow GPL-licensed code linked with OpenSSL libraries
+ unless there is a license exception explicitly permitting this.
+ .
+ If only the Debian packaging, or some other part of the package not
+ linked with OpenSSL, is covered by the GNU GPL, please add a lintian
+ override for this tag. Lintian currently has no good way of
+ distinguishing between that case and problematic packages.
+
+Tag: debian-copyright-line-too-long
+Type: warning
+Info: One or more lines in the copyright file contain more than 80 characters.
+ For the benefit of users of 80x25 terminals, it is recommended that the
+ lines do not exceed 80 characters.
