I: adminer source: repackaged-source-not-advertised [debian/copyright]
N:
N:   The debian/copyright file mentions Files-Excluded but the source version
N:   has no repack suffix.
N:
N:   Repackaged sources are expected to indicate in their version number that
N:   they are different from the upstream release. It is commonly done by
N:   adding a repack suffix to the upstream version.
N:
N:   The choice of repack suffix depends on the reason for repackaging. When
N:   some files were excluded because licensing was a concern, the suffix +dfsg
N:   may be appropriate. In more generic cases, one could chose +ds.
N:
N:   Upstream sources are sometimes repackaged by accident when using old
N:   versions of dh_make. It can also happen when a maintainer invokes the
N:   dh_make option --createorig even though it is not needed.
N:
N:   According to the Debian Developer's Reference 6.7.8.2, the repack suffix
N:   is not required.
N:
N:   Please include such a suffix in the changelog version number to avoid this
N:   warning.
N:
N:   Please refer to Bug#471537 and
N:   https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html

P: adminer source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 13
N:
N:   This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer
N:   recommended. Please consider using the recommended level.
N:
N:   For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to
N:   specify debhelper-compat (= X) as a Build-Depends in debian/control. You
N:   can also use the debian/compat file or export DH_COMPAT in debian/rules.
N:
N:   If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is
N:   deprecated.
N:
N:   Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

P: adminer: repeated-path-segment adminer [usr/share/adminer/adminer/]

X: adminer source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 1087 > 512 [designs/mvt/adminer.css:790]
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:
N:   Visibility: pedantic
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: files/contents/line-length
N:   Renamed from: insane-line-length-in-source-file
N:   This tag is experimental.
N:
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.
