A big issue are certificates, mostly for build tests which have an
expire date set. This causes the package to fail just because we are a
couple years behind schedule.
I am interested in taking this. I have been bitten by expired
certificates in tests previously, albeit not from standalone files, but
embedded in test runners. Checking of expiry of standalone certificates
should be pretty simple, whereas finding embedded certificates might
require a bit more magic.
I plan to employ a Perl module Net::SSL::ExpireDate to check the expiry
date. It should be easy to use it in lintian code. Of course, first of
all, Net::SSL::ExpireDate needs to be packaged (on salsa, no ITP yet).
