Package: lintian Version: 1.23.42 Severity: wishlist Hi,
for one of my first uploads to experimental, I had overlooked the update of the header of the NEWS file when I switched the target from unstable to experimental (2 new upstream release bump). That resulted in: | $ head -n 1 debian/changelog debian/NEWS | ==> debian/changelog <== | graphviz (2.16-1) experimental; urgency=low | | ==> debian/NEWS <== | graphviz (2.16-1) unstable; urgency=low I'm wondering whether checking distribution and possibly urgency mismatches would be desirable. I for one would like to see that, but I haven't done many non-unstable (experimental, s-p-u, t-p-u, security, etc.) uploads, and I might be missing some obvious points. In case it looks fine, one might even consider adding README.Debian files, but they are free-form, and that might too much trouble for too little gain. I've also thought of timestamp (signature line) mismatch check, but that's beginning to be very picky, I believe. Thanks for considering.
