W: libxres source: build-depends-on-obsolete-package Build-Depends: pkg-config => pkgconf
N: 
N:   The package build-depends on a package that has been superseded. If the
N:   superseded package is part of an ORed group, it should not be the first

N:   obsolete version. Please upgrade to more current version.

W: libxres source: typo-in-debhelper-override-target override_dh_makeshlib => override_dh_makeshlibs [debian/rules:24]
N: 
N:   The listed target in debian/rules is a likely misspelling or it is missing
N:   an underscore ("_") between the override_dh, execute_after_dh etc. and the
N:   command name.
N:   
N:   This can result in (for example) a override_dh_foo-style target silently
N:   not being executed by make.
N:   
N:   Implementation detail: The typo is detected by using "Levenshtein edit
N:   distance" so if the typo involve several characters Lintian may not detect
N:   it.
