It would be nice to warn about present but unused or used but unknown
dpkg-gencontrol substitution variables. Here is an example of these:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size&arch=all&ver=1.0.0-3&stamp=1469703308&raw=0

dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package 
python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: unknown substitution variable 
${python-Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: 
unused substitution variable ${python:Versions}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: 
unused substitution variable ${python:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: 
unused substitution variable ${python:Provides}
