Note that individual maintainers can already configure dput to stop the upload on lintian/linda errors. You can also add hooks to that end to pbuilder. > Since these tools can already differentiate between errors and warnings, > it would make sense to define the subset for rejection as "all errors". I'm afraid I have to disagree here. An old FSF address doesn't warrant a reject. Neither do false positives in lintian, they do happen (e.g. the last C++ transition would have been impeded, in fact l.d.o still shows lintian errors for "libfoo0c2a"). Effectively, this would only foster an increase in questionable overrides. Lintian is a useful tool, but it's results need to be subject to review before filing bugs or doing rejects.
