Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.2ubuntu1
Severity: wishlist
Hello Lintian maintainers,
I'd like to propose a new check which is analogous to
patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff but for 3.0 (quilt).
(or perhaps this check could just be extended: thoughts?)
Here we would look to see whether the package declares 3.0 (quilt) and
if so, check if single-debian-patch is not set in debian/source/format
and there is a debian-changes-xxx patch. If yes, spit out a warning.
What do you think? If the consensus is that this is a good idea then
I'll have a go at implementing.
Cheers v much,
Iain
