Yes, please.
I am surprised at the vehemence at someone who dares do something new. I

To clarify: AFAICT, Python is perfectly happy with any sort of

You're Devon Deppler, the maintainer for the Xyzzy set of packages, a
total of a dozen packages. They're important and influential: about a
quarter of the entire archive depends on the packages in one way or
another. You have lots of users.
Now upstream comes up with a new version, and changes

That is called experimental or unstable.
Er, no. The point is to get things tested and hopefully fixed before

Do you think it could be a check before a package to be accepted in

It's not clear to me, from the description, what the program does
that the md5sum and sha1sum utilities do not.
It handles .dsc, .changes, and Sources files. But I also forgot to
mention the main reason I wrote it: it gives progress
The latest version of the Debian Policy Manual has made the use of
invoke-rc.d mandatory, if that command exists. Directly calling an
/etc/init.d script in maintainer scripts is no longer allowed, unless
invoke-rc.d doesn't exist on the system. See section 9.3.3.2.[1]

Minimally, package maintainers and developers could take a look on our logs
