I agree that it would be great to have a tool that does this, but it doesn't fit the model and goals of lintian. lintian is intended to be an entirely self-contained (except for its dependencies) package checker that doesn't depend on external data sources. There are, however, a bunch of good ideas in the lintian BTS for checks that a program without that constraint could make, so I'm tagging this wontfix rather than closing it so that someone else can look at those reports for inspiration. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
