Hi,

Please keep me in CC for follow ups on this if my reply is desired.

These 3 can appear for legitimate reasons if:

 * The build was last done several months ago, OR
 * If done in jessie/jessie-backports (with the jessie version of
   debhelper)

In the former case, a simple no-change rebuild will generally fix the
issue (and indeed, the unstable package does not appear to be affected[1]).
  In the latter case, lintian is simply testing for something that
applies to unstable but not for jessie.  For backports, you can avoid it
by using the debhelper in jessie-backports; but it is not really necessary.

Thanks,
~Niels
