I'm not sure what to do about it on Lintian side. Perhaps we should spell-check only long (say, >= 12 bytes) strings in binaries?Wouldn't that mean we would only find spelling problems for very long words?
No, not necessarily. For example, if this sentence were embedded in a binary, Lintain would find the misspelling: even though the misspelled word is short, it's part of a longer chunk of text, which would be spell-checked.
