W: librust-varcon-core-dev: initial-upload-closes-no-bugs [usr/share/doc/librust-varcon-core-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.

W: rust-varcon-core source: testsuite-restrictions-has-deprecated-skip-not-installable [debian/tests/control]
N: 
N:   This package's autopkgtest testsuite uses the skip-not-installable
N:   restriction, which is now deprecated.
N:   
N:   If you wish to skip certain architectures, please use the Architecture
N:   field instead.

I: librust-varcon-core-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I: rust-varcon-core source: out-of-date-standards-version 4.7.3 (released 2025-12-23) (current is 4.7.4)
N: 
N:   The source package refers to a Standards-Version older than the one that
N:   was current at the time the package was created (according to the
N:   timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider updating
N:   the package to current Policy and setting this control field
N:   appropriately.
N:   
N:   If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you don't
N:   have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version control
N:   field. However, please remember to update this field next time you upload
N:   the package.
N:   
N:   See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the

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:             some of their names carry the .txt file extension.
N:             
N:             Python modules can be both public and private.

I: rust-varcon-core source: quilt-patch-missing-description [debian/patches/older-snapbox]
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.

N: 
N:   This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a
N:   debian/upstream/metadata file.
N:   
N:   The Upstream MEtadata GAthered with YAml (UMEGAYA) project is an effort to
N:   collect meta-information about upstream projects from any source package.
N:   This file is in YAML format and it is used in to feed the data in the
N:   UltimateDebianDatabase. For example, it can contains the way the authors
N:   want their software be cited in publications and some bibliographic
N:   references about the software.
N:   
N:   Please add a debian/upstream/metadata file.
