You are welcome to provide input on tag name, description, severity and appearance. (Fellow maintainers, please chime in too.) The proposed fix is located at: https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/merge_requests/270 For http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libd/libdvdread/libdvdread_6.0.1-1.dsc Lintian produces: W: libdvdread source: package-placeholder-in-symbols-file debian/libdvdread4.symbols, line 2 You can try it at home. Just clone the branch in the MR and run something like: frontend/lintian -C debian/symbols ../libdvdread_6.0.1-1.dsc > But lintian could probably check if the package specified under > Build-Depends-Package contains the corresponding .so symlink. Your suggestion is helpful but was not implemented. (This bug relates to package sources, not installation packages.) If you would like to see it in Lintian please clone this bug and retitle. Thanks!
