The automatic lintian checks here: https://lintian.debian.org/ are only performed on the latest version of a given package... > Because, if so, we could use this tool to automatically identify the > existence of other packages that might cause problems on the > permissions for the /bin directory. ... but nothing prevents anyone to run lintian (which is a program in a package of the same name) on each and every of the packages in stable (or only on the packages installed by default) and share the results.
