The command "debuild --no-lintian" is used in the Debian packaging system to build a Debian package from source code.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "debuild" is a command-line tool used to build Debian packages.
• "--no-lintian" is an option provided to debuild. Lintian is a tool that checks the generated Debian packages for common errors and issues. By specifying "--no-lintian", we are telling debuild to skip the lintian checks during the build process.

Lintian checks are useful to ensure that the generated package follows Debian's packaging guidelines and best practices. However, these checks can also be time-consuming, especially for large or complex packages. Therefore, "--no-lintian" can be used to save time during the build process, especially if the package has already been verified for compliance with Debian standards.

It's important to note that skipping lintian checks using "--no-lintian" should only be done if you are confident that the package has already been thoroughly tested and verified for compliance with Debian packaging guidelines. Otherwise, it's generally recommended to let lintian perform its checks to diagnose and fix any issues with the package.
