W: librust-astc-decode-dev: initial-upload-closes-no-bugs [usr/share/doc/librust-astc-decode-dev/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:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: debian/changelog
N:   Renamed from: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
N: 
N:
I: librust-astc-decode-dev: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
N: 
N:   The extended description (the lines after the first line of the
N:   "Description:" field) is only one or two lines long. The extended
N:   description should provide a user with enough information to decide
N:   whether they want to install this package, what it contains, and how it
N:   compares to similar packages. One or two lines is normally not enough to
N:   do this.
N: 
N:   Please refer to General guidelines for package descriptions (Section
N:   6.2.1) in the Debian Developer's Reference and The long description
N:   (Section 6.2.3) in the Debian Developer's Reference for details.

I: librust-astc-decode-dev: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc [usr/share/cargo/registry/astc-decode-0.3.1/LICENSE]
N: 
N:   This package ships a documentation file outside /usr/share/doc
N:   Documentation files are normally installed inside /usr/share/doc.
N:   
N:   If this file doesn't describe the contents or purpose of the directory it
N:   is in, please consider moving this file to /usr/share/doc/ or maybe even
N:   removing it. If this file does describe the contents or purpose of the
N:   directory it is in, please add a lintian override.

N:   Screen: python/egg/metadata
N:     Advocates: "Scott Kitterman" <debian@kitterman.com>
N:     Reason: The folders XXX.dist-info/ and XXX.egg-info/ hold metadata for
N:             Python modules. Those files are not documentation even though
N:             some of their names carry the .txt file extension.
N:             
N:             Python modules can be both public and private.

N:
I: rust-astc-decode source: upstream-metadata-missing-bug-tracking [debian/upstream/metadata]
N: 
N:   The DEP 12 metadata file does not specify any upstream bug tracking
N:   information (ie. the Bug-Database or Bug-Submit fields are missing).
N:   
N:   The upstream metadata can be found in the source package in the file
N:   debian/upstream/metadata.

N:   Please refer to https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep12/ for details.

P: rust-astc-decode source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 13
N: 
N:   This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer
N:   recommended. Please consider using the recommended level.
N:   
N:   For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to
N:   specify debhelper-compat (= X) as a Build-Depends in debian/control. You
N:   can also use the debian/compat file or export DH_COMPAT in debian/rules.
N:   
N:   If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is
N:   deprecated.
N: 
N:   Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.
