Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
Dear lintian maintainers,
could you please extend `MaintainerScripts/AncientVersion.pm` to check
for old package versions in debhelper-generated invocations of
`dpkg-maintscript-helper` in maintscripts?
Several packages carry outdated dpkg-maintscript-helper invocations
referring to versions older than oldstable.
For example, `colord.maintscript` contains
rm_conffile /etc/bash_completion.d/colormgr-completion.bash 1.0.3-1~
rm_conffile /etc/colord.conf 1.2.12-1~ colord
rm_conffile /etc/dbus-1/[...]ColorManager.conf 1.4.3-4~
rm_conffile /etc/dbus-1/[...]colord-sane.conf 1.0.3-1~
Out of these four lines, three refer to versions older that 1.4.3-4, the
version of `colord` in oldstable (Debian 10).
Regards,
