Hi Max,

I read:

+0. lintian tails-greeter.deb (using .changes file too) - DONE (no errors reported).

I have two lintian versions that disagree, and I suspect you actually
ran lintian on the .deb binary package again, rather than again the
.changes file.

Here is the short version with lintian 2.5.0:

$ lintian tails-greeter_0.0.2_amd64.changes
W: tails-greeter source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.4 (current is 3.9.2)
W: tails-greeter: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/tails-greeter

And the long version with Squeeze's lintian 2.4.3:

W: tails-greeter source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.4 (current is 3.9.1)
N: 
N:    The source package refers to a Standards-Version older than the one that
N:    was current at the time the package was created (according to the
N:    timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider
N:    updating the package to current Policy and setting this control field
N:    appropriately.
N:    
N:    If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you
N:    don't have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version
N:    control field. However, please remember to update this field next time
N:    you upload the package.
N:    
N:    See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the
N:    debian-policy package for a summary of changes in newer versions of
N:    Policy.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
N: 
W: tails-greeter: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/tails-greeter
N: 
N:    Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should
N:    have a manual page
N:    
N:    Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:    program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have
N:    its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:    sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman
N:    don't support this.
N:    
N:    If the name of the man page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:    able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to make the
N:    case of the man page match the case of the binary.
N:    
N:    If the man pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:    depends, lintian may not be able to determine that man pages are
N:    available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have man
N:    pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add
N:    a lintian override.
N:    
N:    Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 12.1 (Manual pages) for details.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
N: 


Bye,
