I: hello: hardening-no-bindnow [usr/bin/hello]
N: 
N:   This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" linker flag.
N:   
N:   This is needed (together with "relro") to make the "Global Offset Table"
N:   (GOT) fully read-only. The bindnow feature trades startup time for
N:   improved security. Please consider enabling this feature or consider
N:   overriding the tag (possibly with a comment about why).
N:   
N:   If you use dpkg-buildflags, you may have to add hardening=+bindnow or
N:   hardening=+all to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
N:   
N:   The relevant compiler flags are set in LDFLAGS.
N: 
N:   Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details.

I: hello: typo-in-manual-page addtional additional [usr/share/man/man1/hello.1.gz:27]
N: 
N:   Lintian found a spelling error in a manual page. Lintian has a list of
N:   common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like
N:   a spelling checker does.
N:   
N:   If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of
N:   gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool, please fix
N:   the error in the translations as well as the English text to avoid making
N:   the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this means you should
N:   also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding msgids in the *.po
N:   files.

P: hello: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL
N: 
N:   The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in
N:   /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL
N:   license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the
N:   license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow
N:   relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally
N:   consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under
N:   later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally
N:   better to point to the version of the license the package references in
N:   its license statement.
N:   
N:   For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it
N:   and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
N:   published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your
N:   option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to
N:   /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL.
N:   
N:   For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the
N:   GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1.

N: 
N:   The given source file is licensed under GFDL, but using a non-official
N:   text for the "no invariant sections" part.
N:   
N:   Please ask upstream to always use (case insensitive): with no Invariant

N: 
N:   This package does not use a machine-readable debian/copyright file.
