I think that Debian needs to know what the format of Uploaders is supposed to be, before it is reasonable to hope that lintian can check that it is correct. (well ok, policy often works the other way around, but there needs to be the rough consensus first rather than lintian driving policy)
Perhaps there is a rough consensus in these discussions so far: https://bugs.debian.org/401452 https://bugs.debian.org/509935 https://bugs.debian.org/962277 cheers Stuart (who would welcome a resolution too: see https://bugs.debian.org/686638) -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
