Bug#248997: lintian should sheck for obsolete call to wm-menu-config



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.0
Severity: wishlist

Hello lintian maintainers,

Menu provides a script wm-menu-config for use in window-manager
postint/postrm. The use of this script is deprecated, since it was
flawed by design (wm need to call that script even when menu is not
installed, which is not possible since it is part of menu).

A better solution is explained in the menu documentation.  Debhelper
does not use wm-menu-config.

So I would like you add a lintian check to catch use of wm-menu-config
in postinst/postrm and report an error, pointing to menu documentation,
Chapter 5.

Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
