W: crispy: copyright-refers-to-deprecated-bsd-license-file
N: 
N:   The copyright file refers to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD. Due to the
N:   brevity of this license, the specificity of this copy to code whose
N:   copyright is held by the Regents of the University of California, and the
N:   frequency of minor wording changes in the license, its text should be
N:   included in the copyright file directly rather than referencing this file.
N:   
N:   This file may be removed from a future version of base-files if references
N:   to it drop sufficiently.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Copyright information (Section 12.5) in the Debian Policy
N:   Manual for details.

N:
W: crispy: executable-not-elf-or-script [usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/crispy/quanty/parameters/cowan/bin/rcn2]
N: 
N:   This executable file is not an ELF format binary, and does not start with
N:   the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts. It might be a sh script
N:   that fails to name /bin/sh as its shell, or it may be incorrectly marked
N:   as executable. Sometimes upstream files developed on Windows are marked
N:   unnecessarily as executable on other systems.
N:   
N:   If you are using debhelper to build your package, running dh_fixperms will
N:   often correct this problem for you.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Scripts (Section 10.4) in the Debian Policy Manual for
N:   details.

N:
W: crispy: initial-upload-closes-no-bugs [usr/share/doc/crispy/changelog.Debian.gz:1]
N: 
N:   This package appears to be the first packaging of a new upstream software
N:   package (there is only one changelog entry and the Debian revision is 1),
N:   but it does not close any bugs. The initial upload of a new package should
N:   close the corresponding ITP bug for that package.
N:   
N:   This warning can be ignored if the package is not intended for Debian or
N:   if it is a split of an existing Debian package.
N: 
N:   Please refer to New packages (Section 5.1) in the Debian Developer's
N:   Reference for details.

N: 
N:
W: crispy: no-manual-page [usr/bin/cowan-parameters]
N: 
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N:   a manual page
N:   
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:   program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N:   own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:   sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N:   support this.
N:   
N:   If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:   able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N:   exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:   
N:   If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N:   pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N:   Lintian override.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.
