Sorry for not being more clear: when I run lintian (notably, without -i), I get output such as:
% lintian dunst_1.2.0-1_amd64.changes I: dunst source: testsuite-autopkgtest-missing P: dunst source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature I: dunst: dbus-session-service-wrong-name org.freedesktop.Notifications.service usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service I: dunst: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man1/dunst.1.gz verticaly vertically W: dunst: manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/man1/dunst.1.gz 476: warning [p 5, 8.7i, div `an-div', 0.2i]: can't break line What I’d like is to output to look like this (possibly only after specifying a flag in case it causes breakage): % lintian dunst_1.2.0-1_amd64.changes debian/watch:1: P: dunst source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature I: dunst: dbus-session-service-wrong-name org.freedesktop.Notifications.service usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.knopwob.dunst.service I: dunst: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man1/dunst.1.gz verticaly vertically […] I realize that for some of the messages, like the manpage-related ones, we don’t have the mapping between binary artifact and source file (maybe debhelper could be extended to store it). But many other warnings that I run into can be tied to a specific source file.
