Hmm, it's a mix. /var/spool/lintian/config/ contains configuration information, and /var/spool/lintian/logs/stats/ collects daily statistics from which I will generate funky graphs sometime. The rest can be regenerated from the archive in a matter of hours. Is your backup fine-grained enough to handle this? If not, I can keep a local copy of the config, and live dangerously with the stats. Richard Braakman
