Done.
Oh, and I forgot to include the fun statistics:
zcat changes.diff.gz | diffstat
[...]
1305 files changed, 1741 insertions(+), 1741 deletions(-)
Yes, folks, that's 1305 packages with spelling errors, out of about 8000.
Don't worry; I'm still reviewing the changes and listening for comments
before filing 1305 bugs.
One other thing I forgot to include in my original list of peeves:
- "Debian" should always be capitalized, except in package names
This one is not addressed by my diffs, since "debian" (lower case) is used
as a part of many package names, and I added all of those parts to my
dictionary.
If someone can engineer a clever enough Lintian check for this, that would
be nice.
