  Description     : Lin is a stylistic enhancement for Emacs’ built-in hl-line-mode

Lin is a stylistic enhancement for Emacs’ built-in hl-line-mode. It
remaps the hl-line face (or equivalent) buffer-locally to a style that
is optimal for major modes where line selection is the primary mode of
interaction.

Hi Dhavan,

The salsa project/git repo path shouldn't have an "elpa-" prefix (that
prefix is used for the binary package[s]).  This source package is
currently named "lin".  Did you read our package name policy?

https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianEmacsenTeam

Read about what a source package is in Policy §4, and about what a
binary package is in Policy §3.

The package FTBFS in a clean schroot (looks like missing build-depends).

There are a couple issues that lintian can help you identify, and I
recommend that you configure gbp and/or sbuild to run lintian by
default.

Best,
