[ Sebastian Ramacher ]
* Revert "Turn embedded-library into a classification tag. (Closes:
#932634)". The tag embedded-library is used by FTP masters for
automatic rejects. So let's revert this change. First, #932634 has
seen no coordination with FTP masters. Second, it confuses developers
when their packages get rejected for tags that are not emitted
locally.
[ Simon McVittie ]
* obsolete-packages: Add some more transitional packages.
* desktop/dbus: Check for dbus policy files installed into /etc/.
(Closes: #1006631)

(Closes: #1013314)
[ Bastien Roucariès ]
* Run test suite at build time except on Salsa.
* Fix warning: cannot run debian/readme check on
package binary:postgresql-15_15~beta2-2+salsaci_amd64
(Closes: #1014175)
* Refresh data.
* L…/C…/Files/PrivacyBreach.pm: Run lc in sliding windows block.
[ Axel Beckert ]
* data/spelling/corrections: Remove valid word "licence".
* Fix typos and add missing changelog items in 2.115.3 release.
* .gitignore: Also ignore debian/*.debhelper files and drop wrong
trailing slash for doc/lintian.html.
* private/refresh-virtual-packages-data: Replace "egrep" with "grep -E".
* Replace "egrep" and "fgrep" in all test suite dummy packages with "grep
-E/-F".
* Add build-dependencies of the test suite.
* Fix test broken by dpatch removal.
* Fix test broken by updating the list of virtual packages.
* Extend spellintian.t to check all listed misspellings against dictionaries.
Add test suite build dependencies on liblist-someutils-perl, wamerican
and wbritish. (Closes: #1019541)
* Make spellintian.t to use the installed corrections list under autopkgtest.
* t/scripts/tags/fields.t: Allow running with just "prove -l".
* Remove spelling corrections which are valid words and now caught by
the new spellintian.t check against English dictionaries.
(Closes: #1019235)
* Remove valid word "tye" from data/spelling/corrections.

other things.
* Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.6.2.
* Make test for generate-tag-summary more precise and properly cover all
cases.
* out-of-date-/newer-standards-version: Only output the significant
digits of the current policy version.
* Salsa CI: Override the lintian version being used to the just built
version.
* Extend desc-fields.t to only accept known field names, see #1025868.
* Fix singular vs plural field name typo. (Fixes ½ of #1025868)

* Make "lintian --version" emit versions unique per commit if run from a
git checkout.
* Fix read error with libpath-tiny-perl ≥ 0.142 if debian/templates is a
directory. Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso and src:linux. :-)
* Fix arm64 autopkgtest by using a shell script as example instead of a
compiled C binary for testing bin-sbin-mismatch. Also fix that so far
on other architectures there was a bin-sbin-mismatch false negative
accepted by the test suite while the true positive on arm64 hadn't
been accepted by the test suite. (Closes: #1025868)
* inconsistent-appstream-metadata-license:
+ Versions with trailing ".0" are equivalent to versions without
(Closes: #1002053)
+ Normalize comparison (-or-later/+, -only suffix)
+ Tag description: Text improvements; add direct reference to
AppStream metadata_license tag specification. (Closes: #1014956)

* spellintian.t: Make sure that no bad spelling is used as good spelling
of another bad spelling. Prompted by #1027399. Add build-dependency on
"libarray-utils-perl <!nocheck>" and autopkgtest dependency for that.
* Fix bad spellings that were used as good spelling for another bad
spelling. (Closes: #1027399)
* Do not emit executable-stack-in-shared-library on MIPS architectures
for now. (Closes: #1025436, see also #1022787)
* run-private-scripts.t:
+ Do not run auto-reject-diff as it requires network access.
+ Skip generate-tag-summary without git.
Thanks Louis-Philippe Véronneau!
