I: binwalk source: anticipated-repack-count 2.3.4+dfsg1-5
N: 
N:   The version contains the string +dfsgN where N is a low number as in
N:   +dfsg1.
N:   
N:   Normally it is not necessary to repackage an upstream source package more
N:   than once. You can omit the repack count. In most cases +dfsg-1 is enough.
N:   
N:   If you really need to bump it, just go straight to +dfsg2-1.

I: binwalk source: uses-python-distutils [setup.py:12]
N: 
N:   This package uses the Python distutils module.
N:   
N:   In Python 3.10 and 3.11, distutils has been formally marked as deprecated.
N:   Code that imports distutils will no longer work from Python 3.12.
N:   
N:   Please prepare for this deprecation and migrate away from the Python
N:   distutils module.

P: python3-binwalk: example-unusual-interpreter python [usr/share/doc/python3-binwalk/examples/binwalk_simple.py]
N: 
N:   This package contains an example script for an interpreter that is not
N:   shipped in the package and is not known to Lintian. It is possible that
N:   there is a typo or the interpreter is not executable.

P: binwalk source: maintainer-manual-page [debian/binwalk.1]
N: 
N:   The maintainer keeps a manual page in ./debian. Please forward the manual
N:   page upstream and ask them to include in their version control system, and
N:   in their next release.
N:   
N:   If the manual page was already forwarded or rejected, or the upstream is
N:   gone, please override the tag and annotate it with a suitable comment.
N: 
N:   Please refer to social contract item 2, Coordination with upstream
N:   developers (Section 3.1.4) in the Debian Developer's Reference, and
N:   Changes to the upstream sources (Section 4.3) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.

X: binwalk source: debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature [debian/watch]
N: 
N:   This watch file does not specify a means to verify the upstream tarball
N:   using a cryptographic signature.
N:   
N:   If upstream distributions provides such signatures, please use the
N:   pgpsigurlmangle options in this watch file's opts= to generate the URL of
N:   an upstream OpenPGP signature. This signature is automatically downloaded
N:   and verified against a keyring stored in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc
N:   
N:   Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures but you could request
N:   them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the code after
N:   its release (projects such as phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have
N:   suffered from this kind of attack).
N: 
N:   Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.

X: binwalk source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 656 > 512 [README.md:13]
N: 
N:   The source file includes a line length that is well beyond the normally
N:   human made code line length.
N:   
N:   This very long line length does not allow Lintian to do correctly some
N:   source file checks.
N:   
N:   This line could also be the result of some text injected by a computer
N:   program, and thus could lead to FTBFS bugs.
N:   
N:   Last but not least, long line in source code could be used to obfuscate
N:   the source code and to hide stuff like backdoors or security problems.
N:   
N:   It could be due to jslint source comments or other build tool comments.
N:   
N:   You may report this issue upstream.

N:   Screen: autotools/long-lines
N:     Advocates: "Russ Allbery" <rra@debian.org>
N:     Reason: 
N:             Upstream sources using autoconf have traditionally been
N:             distributed with generated ./configure scripts as well as
N:             other third-party m4 macro files such as libtool.
N:             
N:             When paired with automake, there may also be some intermediate
N:             Makefile.in files.
N:             
N:             A lot of sources potentially contain such files, but they are
N:             not actionable by either the Debian distributor or by the
N:             upstream maintainer.
N:             
N:             As a side note, modern Debian build protocols will re-create
N:             many of those files via dh_autoreconf. They are present merely
N:             to aid in bootstrapping systems where the GNU suite may not yet
N:             be available.
