Package: lintian Version: 2.5.15 Severity: wishlist Hi!
The malformed-deb-archive gets emitted on valid .deb archives as specified in deb(5) and accepted by dpkg-deb, although those are not accepted by the Debian archive. It would be nice to separate what's a trully malformed .deb archive from what's not accepted by Debian, probably through a profile? For example the format explicitly supports extra members after the known ones, and additional members inbetween the known ones as long as they start with an underscore. Also uncompressed data.tar members (as mentioned in another bug report). Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
