Package: lintian Version: 1.23.28 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Based on #466423, I think it would be nice for lintian to warn about packages using a debhelper compatibility other than whatever was latest in the most recent stable release. For example, take Etch, which had a debhelper compatibility level of 5 at the time of its release. If you built a package with debhelper compat of 4, then that should cause a warning as it is using an outdated compatibility level. Likewise, if it were to use compatibility level 6 (recently available), it should at the very least generate an info, or preferrably a warning. This is just an idea, so please feel free to change it, or even to close the bug outright if you feel it is wrong.
