Bug#245138: lintian: requesting tar --posix check

[Goswin Brederlow <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.22.12
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I've seen several packages failing to build because their orig.tar.gz
was build with the --posix option and stable dpkg-source fails then.
It might be a good idea to add a check for that asap since the problem
seems to appear silently with newer automake versions.

For details about the problem see debian-devel or the wesnoth buildd
logs as an example.

MfG
