Re: lintian-like tools in teams / early lintian stories

Hey folks,
As part of my research[0], I have two questions:
Do you know any tools or teams using tools that, like lintian,
automatically check packages (or whatever it is that the team is
working on) and thereby helps to maintain a common baseline?
I am not certain how relevant to your research it is, but the debian
perl group uses two tools vaguely similar to lintian. The first is PET
(Package Entropy Tracker) which is deployed by the debian perl group
here[0] and by other groups inside debian. It is used to create
something of a baseline - it compares upstream with debian packages
and lists bugs as well as work in progress.
The debian perl team also has a tool called 'packagecheck'[1] which
checks packages, amazingly enough. :)
Warm regards,
Jeremiah

Also, do any of you remember stories from the early lintian days?
