W: librust-mmap-io-dev: initial-upload-closes-no-bugs [usr/share/doc/librust-mmap-io-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

I: librust-mmap-io-dev: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc [usr/share/cargo/registry/mmap-io-1.0.0/CHANGELOG.md]
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-mmap-io source: quilt-patch-missing-description [debian/patches/002-disable-failing-concurrent-madvise-test.patch]
N: 
N:   quilt patch files should start with a description of patch. All lines
N:   before the start of the patch itself are considered part of the
N:   description. You can edit the description with quilt header -e when the
N:   patch is at the top of the stack.
N:   
N:   As well as a description of the purpose and function of the patch, the
N:   description should ideally contain author information, a URL for the bug
N:   report (if any), Debian or upstream bugs fixed by it, upstream status, the
N:   Debian version and date the patch was first included, and any other
N:   information that would be useful if someone were investigating the patch
N:   and underlying problem. Please consider using the DEP 3 format for this
N:   information.

I: rust-mmap-io 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-mmap-io source: package-does-not-install-examples [examples/]
N: 
N:   The original source tarball contains the specified examples directory.
N:   However, no examples are installed in any binary packages.
N:   
N:   Please use dh_installexamples to install these to the most relevant
N:   package, for example by adding the directory name followed by a wildcard
N:   to a debian/pkgname.examples file.
N:   
N:   Lintian looks for any directory called examples under /usr/share/doc in
N:   all binary packages.
N: 
N:   Please refer to the dh_installexamples(1) manual page for details.
N: 
N:   Visibility: pedantic

N: 
N:   Screen: examples/in-tests
N:     Advocates: "Scott Kitterman" <debian@kitterman.com>
N:     Reason: 
N:             Some sources like python-tomlkit trigger this tag for tests because of files
N:             in ./tests/examples/. They are not examples for tomlkit, however. They are
N:             examples of TOML files used in the tests.
N:             
N:             Overall, the check is probably better off not looking in test
N:             directories.

N: 
N:
P: rust-mmap-io 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.
