Hi!

Now that .buildinfo files are always generated, even for source-only
uploads, it would be really nice if lintian would recurse into them to
find references to any .deb that is listed in .buildinfo but not in
.changes. One way to generate such source-only uploads after a
full-build is:

  $ dpkg-buildpackage --changes-option=-S

Which does a full-build, so that one can be sure the thing builds at
all, but will just upload the source package and the .buildinfo file.

Otherwise right now one has to call lintian like this:

  $ lintian p_v_a.changes p_v_*.deb

Or perhaps also supporting to call lintian like this:

  $ lintian p_v_a.buildinfo

would be nice. :)

Thanks,
Guillem
