N: 
N:   The package appears to be shipping two copies of the changelog.
N:   
N:   If the second copy is really needed, consider making it a symlink to the
N:   canonical place for the relevant changelog.
N:   
N:   Both upstream and Debian changelogs are checked with this tag.

W: supernovas source: no-nmu-in-changelog [debian/changelog:1]
N: 
N:   When you NMU a package, that fact should be mentioned on the first line in
N:   the changelog entry. Use the words "NMU" or "Non-maintainer upload" (case
N:   insensitive).
N:   
N:   Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please
N:   double-check that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte
N:   identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local
N:   package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by
N:   putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first line
N:   of the changelog entry.

N:   Please refer to Using the DELAYED/ queue (Section 5.11.3) in the Debian
N:   Developer's Reference for details.

N: 
N:   This package creates a potential privacy breach by fetching data from an
N:   external website at runtime. Please remove these scripts or external HTML
N:   resources.
N:   
N:   Please replace any scripts, images, or other remote resources with
N:   non-remote resources. It is preferable to replace them with text and links
N:   but local copies of the remote resources are also acceptable as long as
N:   they don't also make calls to remote services. Please ensure that the
N:   remote resources are suitable for Debian main before making local copies
N:   of them.
