Package: lintian Version: 2.5.6 Severity: wishlist Hi!
Using #652099 as an example, we have a source package that has a -dbg binary package, with files located under /usr/lib/debug/ as they should be but with one problem: there are no debugging symbols. Could lintian do a new check against the binaries in a -dbg package to see if they indeed have the proper debugging symbols? Something like doing a "nm -a $file | cut -b 18" and grepping for "N" If no N is found then we have a file with missing symbols and a warning about this. (I don't know if nm + cut + grep is the best way to test for debugging symbols, but it seems to do the job) Thank you!
