Thanks for mentioning this. Seems to have slipped through our fingers
and indeed was fixed by this commit, but it doesn't close this bug
report. (Maybe the committer missed that there is a bug report for
that.)

I've just retroactively added the "Closes" to Lintian's
debian/changelog as there weren't any other changes yet, so "gbp dch"
will still work fine. *phew*

I've just also added trixie and forky so this is already fixed for the
next stable release, too. :-)

Needs to migrate to testing first. And I'd be glad if someone else
could take care of the backport. *hinthinthint* :-)

Note: Running the testsuite this time requires a debhelper version
newer than in stable (but satisfiable) in stable-backports due to the
testsuite expecting dh_movetousr being active. Sorry 'bout that. Feel
free to suggest (or even implement) a better solution to that.

Please note that February 2023 was during the freeze and Bookworm was
released in June. And I indeed remember that we didn't managed to get
out a 2.116.4 with some more last-minute fixes. Sorry for that.

And yes, there was exactly one year without a Lintian releasae. :-/
While there were a ton of new and old contributors in this release, it
seems that nobody else than me dared to actually do a Lintian release.
But I was waylaid for months for multiple reasons. (But I think,
Bastièn probably would have done one if I wouldn't have become active
again recently. :-)
