Lintian should be able to check for anything that is easy to check and
is a error in the package. This is regardless of what caused this
error to occur.
For your case:
1. It should be easy for Lintian to check if the file is in Unix
format or not.
2. While I do not know of any documentation saying "files must be in
Unix format", I believe this to be implied.
Therefore, I suggest filing the bug report.
As for the original problem, why is the file in MS-DOS format, well...
we still haven't worked that out yet.
