Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.122
Severity: normal

I'd love to see lintian catch issues like this:

$ ldd -u /sbin/badblocks
Unused direct dependencies:
	/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libblkid.so.1

Lintian already parses binaries and libraries with objdump, so catching
this seems reasonable.

Getcha. Let's therefore revisit this after it becomes the default. :)
