Bug#428681: lintian: [checks/binaries] several-sonames-in-same-package: please sort SONAMEs

[Cyril Brulebois <cyril.brulebois@enst-bretagne.fr>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.31
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

it would be cool to have the SONAMEs sorted so that one can write the
overrides once. The attached patch implements this, and at least
"several-sonames-in-same-package" and
"package-name-doesnt-match-sonames" should benefit from it.

TIA. Cheers,
