Package: lintian Version: 2.5.3 Severity: wishlist Some packages used to start debian/rules with things like: CFLAGS=-Wall -Werror=format-security
However recent dpkg updates[1] not only make these pratices useless, but it also removes usefull flags such as -fstack-protector in that example. Lintian should warns about such flags overrides.
