- setup.hint sdesc that starts with the package name - setup.hint missing any of: sdesc, requires, category - sanity checking for setup.hint category - I don't want to say hardcode a list of allowed categories, but it would be nice to catch typos and prevent accidentally creating new categories. - contains postinstall/preremove script without requiring bash (this matters for the order in which scripts are run) - man pages not gzipped (this would certainly have to be a warning only as many packages don't do this) - installs conf file directly into /etc instead of putting it under /etc/defaults/ and installing it with a postinstall/preremove only if the user hasn't customized it - two packages owning the same file - this would require some kind of global state (e.g. a tied hash with a backing dbm file) in the lint script so it may be prohibitive, but it would be good to catch two packages that accidently overlap Brian
