I implemented a check for string exception in lintian4python and run it
on the whole archive (which was a slightly out of date sid). The results
are attached.
Sadly, despite a MBF almost 2 years ago (thanks, Sandro!), there are
still tons of packages using this ex-feature. Not only the old bugs
haven't been fixed completely, but also new ones appeared.
Any volunteers to file new bugs?
