Could I suggest adding fink check and/or fink validate to the list
of commands that one sees when running fink --help? (Or else to the
man page... or both!) That will help us remember where to find this
later.
Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, should have mentioned this in the last post.
The validator can validate .info and .deb files (though .deb checking
isn't doing much currently). You have to specify a concret file. E.g.
fink check myfoo-1.0-1.info
or
fink validate /sw/fink/debs/myfoo-1.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb
If you want to check all .info files in a given directory, you could use this:
find -name *.info | xargs fink -q check
The -q will activate quiet mode, which gives you a shorter output,
and also doesn't warn about description fields longer than 45 chars
(though it still will warn if the description takes more than 60
chars).
Of course it is is not perfect, sometimes it generates invalid
warnings (e.g. it warned me because package align had the word
align in its desc, but in general is no way around that)
