> targetted and targetting are valid alternative spellings

I agree -- in Crawl's upstream, we had a very lengthy flamewar about this
topic (that game's original author was an australian, thus .au spelling is
preferred):

* US uses -t- exclusively
* UK allows both although -t- is more prevalent than -tt- these days
* AU uses mostly -tt- but -t- is (per foreign influence) also often seen

Thus, it is a minority spelling, and it might even be reasonable for a
general purpose spelcheckar to complain -- usual spell checkers are expected
to have a fair rate of false positives.  It takes more work to ignore a
Lintian warning, though.

A dubious warning might be appropriate for functional problems; for
spelling, though, I'd suggest marking up only certain ones.


Meow!

Description:

Closes: 852005 852084 852145 852891
Changes:
 lintian (2.5.50.1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * debian/copyright:
     + [EB] Add Edward Betts.
 .
   * data/spelling/corrections:
     + [NT] Apply patches from Edward Betts to fix bugs in the correction
       word lists.  (Closes: #852005, #852084)
     + [NT] Apply patch from Edward Betts to remove corrections for
       "targetted" and "targetting" as they are valid alternative
       spellings in AU.  (Closes: #852145)
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [NT] Re-sort test output after running the "post_test" sed script
       on the output.  This prevent test failures caused by the order
       changing on different architectures prior to the sed script is run
       (assuming the sed script otherwise normalises the differences
       correctly).
   * t/tests/cruft-general-upstream/pre_upstream:
     + [EB] Fix failing tests by making the fake flash object more
       convincing.  The most recent version of libmagic uses a more precise
       definition of the data within a flash file.  (Closes: #852891)
 .
   * vendors/ubuntu/main/data/changes-file/known-dists:
     + [CW] Add zesty.
