Just to make it obvious for the next time I look at this bug, the current 
output is like:

W: patch-systems-quilt-general source: patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-
diff README and 1 more


We should probably consider making the Lintian::Output layer "fold" them 
instead of letting the check script do it. Such tags could be marked like 
this:

Tag: patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff
Severity: ...
...
Fold: 1

Where '1' would indicate that at most one of those tags should be displayed.


This could be done together with the major redesign.

Cheers,
