Hi, the https://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php seem to be not much maintained and are missing a number of features with respect to dependency resolution (like build profiles, architecture qualifiers, multiarch, build-depends-indep/arch) all of which dose3 implements properly. Thus it might make sense to move some of the checks currently done by debcheck.php to dose/debcheck.html like: - priority checks - section checks - depends on non-main - oldlib checks The checks could be done with dose3 by creating fitting package sets using grep-dctrl and feeding those to distcheck for installability checks. I'd assume that feeding distcheck a few more filtered Packages files to check for these issues is very much easier than fixing the dependency resolver of debcheck.php. Thanks! cheers, josch
