Package: lintian Version: 2.5.6 Severity: important Tags: d-i Hi,
it would be nice if lintian could check an udeb isn't empty. (There might legitimate cases where udebs ship no contents, and just contain maintainer scripts/debconf stuff, so I'm cc-ing debian-boot@ for input.) Real life example: fonts-tibetan-machine-udeb_1.901b-3_all.udeb was entirely empty after the package got renamed to follow the fonts policy (losing a .install file), leading to missing fonts in d-i. The same was seen in other packages too. Once the check is added, we should be able to evaluate a (let's say) udeb-is-empty warning page on lintian.d.o and see whether we have other issues, or false positives. Thanks for considering.
