Bug#933305: lintian: pedantic complaint about duplicate items in a single debian/changelog entry



Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

This morning I saw a package upgrade that had a changelog entry with
these two lines in it.

  * debian/control: Use debhelper-compat 12
  * debian/control: Use debhelper-compat 12

I think a pedantic complaint about the duplicate items would be
appropriate to have in lintian.

I would suggest each item in the changelog entry should be stripped of
whitespace before comparing them so that trailing whitespace in one of
them still triggers the complaint.
