Ok, so I test-built autopkgtest in both Jessie and sid chroots, and the
Jessie chroots gave my hyphen-used-as-minus-sign, whereas the sid ones
don't, I just noticed.

I did a bit of digging and found:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785353

So basically the tag is completely useless and one shouldn't care about
it anymore.

I've attached a patch that fixes the following spelling mistakes,
however:

Also note that I get:

P: autopkgtest source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 8
I: autopkgtest source: missing-debian-source-format
I: autopkgtest source: vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri vcs-browser http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git
I: autopkgtest source: vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri vcs-git git://anonscm.debian.org/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git

I'm not going to send a patch for these, but to make your life easier
for the Vcs URIs, here are the debian/control fields for those:

Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git
Vcs-Browser: https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git

(Other than that, the package is lintian clean.)

Regards,
Christian
