lintian (2.114.0ubuntu1.9) jammy; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick changes from Debian to fix autopkgtest failures:
    - Drop debhelper-compatibility-level-not-a-number; untestable due to
      changes in Debhelper.
    - Fix two tests for the new, pointed hint context format.
    - Fix false positives for adopted-extended-field with X- prefixed fields
      (Closes: #999768)
    - Empty hints file seem to require a Test-Against field in desc
    - Build no-code/without-fat-lto-objects test with optimize=-lto
    - Remove AC_INIT from
      macro-not-cross-compilation-safe/build-spec/orig/src/configure.ac again
  * Use distro-info-data in changes-file/known-dists
    (Closes: #1141228, LP: #1012459)
  * Fix false positive adopted-extended-field (LP: #2167987):
    - Lintian::Check::Fields::Unknown - Drop prefix starting with X (XS-*,
      XSBC-* etc) as the fields in `.dsc` strips them off
      (Closes: #1029471, #1013414)
    - tests(fields-unknown-autobuild-unrel): Add test to ensure XS-Autobuild
      does not spawn unknown-field (to test against #1013414)
    - source-fields: Update downstream fields with full prefix
      (Closes: #1141065)
    - Unknown.pm, data: Add XB- prefixes for binary stanza fields in `data/` and
      remove XB-* prefix in known binary fields checking for unknown fields
      (Closes: #1017064)
