Package: qa.debian.org Version: unavailable; reported 2003-01-26 Severity: minor
sorry but here's some examples of somethings maybe packages should check: things that won't be discovered until cron.monthly does. e.g. the HylaFAX folks never thought i wouldn't even have faxed once this month. the Nautilus people had some other problem... i don't really know what Nautilus is all about but i seem to have it installed :-) both i have probably reported and perhaps are fixed already... next time i do apt-zip i will know... anyways the point is: maybe in the lintian or policy areas, such problems could be caught before cron.monthly catches them and sends worrisome messages to the user.
