Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.30
Severity: normal

A previously lintian-free package has suddenly started generating a
doc-base format error:

$ lintian -i /opt/debian/qof/qof_0.7.2-1_amd64.changes 
E: libqof-doc: doc-base-file-no-format qof-www:20
N:
N:   A format section of this doc-base control file didn't specify a
N:   format. Each section after the first must specify a format.
N:   
N:   Refer to Debian doc-base Manual section 2.3.2.2 for details.
N:
E: libqof-doc: doc-base-file-no-format qof:20

This is the current Debian package and there is no lintian error
reported for this version and no error was reported when the package
was originally uploaded.

The doc-base file in question is:

Document: qof-www
Title: Query Object Framework Introduction
Author: Neil Williams
Abstract: Query Object Framework Introduction
  QOF, the Query Object Framework, provides a set of C
  Language utilities for performing generic structured complex
  queries on a set of data held by a set of C/C++ objects. 
  .
  This introduction is a copy of the QOF website content, explaining
  Why QOF exists, how to develop packages using QOF, generating
  examples, QOF roadmap, goals, status and links to other related
  www sites, including translation support.

The doc-base manual specifies the format as:
Document: doc-base
Title: Debian doc-base Manual
Author: Christian Schwarz
Abstract: This manual describes what doc-base is
 and how it can be used to
 manage online manuals on Debian systems.
Section: Apps/Programming
     
Format: DebianDoc-SGML
Files: /usr/share/doc/doc-base/doc-base.sgml.gz
     
Format: Text

Format: HTML
Index: /usr/share/doc/doc-base/doc-base.html/index.html
Files: /usr/share/doc/doc-base/doc-base.html/*.html

Allowing for changes to prevent other errors (like correcting the file
paths etc.), I cannot see how my current file is wrong.

I discovered this when trying to create a new -doc package - nothing I
do resolves this error.

   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [RA] Only check for missing colons in bug closers in the most recent
       changelog entry.  Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst.  (Closes: #423171)
   * checks/common_data.pm:
     + [RA] Update architectures to dpkg 1.14.1.  Remove all linux-*
       architectures and add armel.  (Closes: #421995)
   * checks/control-files.desc:
     + [RA] Change unknown-control-file to a warning, since Policy only
       discourages it and doesn't outlaw it.  (Closes: #287209)
   * checks/cruft:
     + [RA] Allow any automake package to satisfy the autotools-dev build
       dependency for suppressing warnings about out of date autotools
       helper files.  (Closes: #417067)
   * checks/fields:
     + [RA] Require libmodule-build-perl in Build-Depends if the clean rule
       runs perl Build.  Hopefully this isn't too aggressive.  Thanks, Ian
       Beckwith.  (Closes: #421549)
   * checks/files:
     + [RA] Don't warn about LICENSE files in Zope products, since they may
       be used for runtime display.  (Closes: #424164)
   * checks/manpages:
     + [RA] Avoid false positives on binaries with X11 in the name.  Patch
       from Kevin B. McCarty.  (Closes: #423229)
   * checks/menu-format.desc:
     + [RA] Improve the pkg-not-in-package-test long description and add a
       manual reference.  (Closes: #423519)
   * checks/menus:
     + [RA] Allow multiple blank lines between doc-base sections and
       trailing blank lines in the file.  doc-base is fine with this.
       Reported by Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz.  (Closes: #423096)
   * checks/scripts:
     + [RA] Add pagsh, provided by openafs-client and heimdal-clients.
     + [RA] Diagnose removal of device files in maintainer scripts per
       Policy 10.6.  (Closes: #268688)
     + [RA] Add jruby1.0.  Thanks, Sebastien Delafond.  (Closes: #426950)
     + [RA] Add jed and friends.  Thanks, Jörg Sommer.  (Closes: #426469)
     + [RA] Move several maintainer script checks specific to shell scripts
       inside the conditional so that they won't run on maintainer scripts
       not written in shell.
     + [RA] Diagnose maintainer scripts looking at /var/lib/dpkg/status
       directly.  Thanks, Guillem Jover.  (Closes: #426628)
     + [RA] Diagnose direct modifications to /etc/services, /etc/protocols,
       /etc/rpc, and /etc/inetd.conf in maintainer scripts.  (Yes, an
       eight-year-old bug!)  (Closes: #32532)
   * checks/version-substvars{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Add a check for deprecated ${Source-Version} substvars.  Patch
       from Guillem Jover.  (Closes: #427577)
 .
   * frontend/lintian-info:
     + [CW] Fix uninitialized value warning after reading a blank line.
