Hi!
Currently Lintian requires a (source or binary) package to check[1]. However, many of the Lintian source package checks (e.g. spelling of debian/changelog entries) don't strictly depend on anything being built.
Is anyone aware of a way to run lintian directly on a debian/ directory contents as-is without doing a source build first?
I am exploring this in order to get my text editor to nag about findings immediately without separate source build steps.
