Hello, I wrote a lintian check for wishlist item #708482, which simply checks for an Automake Makefile.am and a deprecated configure.in in source packages.
Since this is my first lintian check, I'm pretty sure it's far from perfect, so I would be grateful if you could give me some feedback! Best regards, -- Gautier Minster
