svn checkout http://svn.wolffelaar.nl/lintian/trunk
apt-getteable sources are available too:
deb http://jeroen.a-eskwadraat.nl/sw/debian/EXPERIMENTAL sid lintian
deb-src http://jeroen.a-eskwadraat.nl/sw/debian/EXPERIMENTAL sid lintian
(not automatically updated, but these do include also check whether
po-debconf ought to be used).
I do not have experience with po-debconf (my own package soon to be
uploaded failed this test as I didn't use po-debconf yet :)), it'd be
great to check for about any mistake that one could do: po-debconf(7)
lists quite some requirements and old files to clean up, that could be
quite easily checked for.
You can either write them yourself, or provide good test-packages (see
subdirs of 'testset'), and simply state which tests (even if they are to
be written) should fail/succeed on each package.
The latter is even preferred, as testpackages ensure that these tests
will never be broken again.
