Doesn't sound like a particularly good idea to me. You need no just unstable's linda/lintian; you also need unstable's libraries to be able to make sure your package will work and build on unstable. There's no way around that; there's way too many libraries that might have their SONAME bumped, way too many packages that might have been split (or merged) so that the packages you need to build-dep on in stable don't exist anymore in unstable (or vice versa), etc. "Just" including linda/lintian in stable doesn't fix that. > If not it would be great to add some kind of Warning to the > source code which checks the Debian versions and warns the > user that it is normally recommended to built on a newer > version.
