Bug#822833: Detect Recommends to non-free
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.21
Severity: wishlist
It would be super nice if lintian could somehow detect 'Recommends'
pointing outside main:
Policy 2.2.1 states:
> In addition, the packages in main
>
> must not require or recommend a package outside of main for
> compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Pre-
> Depends", "Depends", "Recommends", "Build-Depends", or "Build-
> Depends-Indep" relationship on a non-main package),
This was detected by a human:
