It's my long-term intention to add a set of style checks to lintian that would be optional and would have to be explicitly requested. I think that both of these would fit well in that category, along with things like checking how whitespace is used in control fields and asking for spaces after commas and before parens. In the meantime, some of those checks are already in lintian at the I: level, and I don't object to adding more, but some of these checks should probably wait until the style check functionality has been added since they're really more minor even than I:. In other words, feel free to submit a wishlist lintian bug for things like this. I'm going to pull up all of those once the style check facility is available. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
