tags 912912 + moreinfo thanks Hi Mattia,

First, great idea for a check Not wishing to play severity wars but I think E-tag would be a little aggressive for such a tag, but I worry we would expect a large number of false-positives. For example: for var in $(things_to_to_loop_on); do \ $(whatever) || exit $?; \ done I mean, this exact code exists in disorderfs (albeit in tests/ Makefile, not debian/rules). > Note however that the set -e could be omitted if one has Detecting SHELL=sh -e and .SHELLFLAGS=-ec reliably too would only complicate such things. Could you perhaps run some codesearch.debian.net queries to see what kind of false-positives we could expect? There will definitely be some, but if it's above "some" threshold I think this might be beyond Lintian's reach, alas.
