Lintian Autorejects
+
Packages failing a defined set of lintian tags will no
+ longer be accepted into the archive, but get rejected immediately.
+
+
Those automated rejects will only be done on sourceful uploads to
+ unstable and experimental.
+
+
As there are certain lintian tags that should only appear in very rare
+ cases we have created two categories:
+
+ - warning
+ - Tags listed here *can* be overriden by the maintainer using the normal
+ lintian override mechanism. Of course this should only be done if you
+ have a technically sound reason why your package needs to break in such a
+ way.
+
+ - error
+ - Tags listed here can not be overridden. Those are tags
+ corresponding to packaging errors serious enough to mark a
+ package unfit for the archive and should never happen. In
+ fact, most of the tags listed do not appear in our archive
+ currently, the few packages listed below should be easily
+ fixable with their next upload.
+
+
+
+
The current list of tags can be found here.
