Dear Maintainer,
When checking the octave-statistics package, Lintian complains with:
X: octave-statistics source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 632 >
512 [README.md:17]
The README.md contains documentation in the Markdown format. It is
usual for Markdown format to have each paragraph in a long line.
Would it be possible to exclude Markdown files (and other formats for
documentation files, eventually) from the
very-long-line-length-in-source-file check?
Best,

Hello,
This tag is currently marked as "Experimental" (i.e. please don't use
that in prod) because it generates so much false-positives.
It uses a "blocklist" model instead of an "allowlist" one, which I think
would be more suitable.
As such, I'm not sure adding more restrictions is the way to go...
