Bug#334822: lintian: Report Info on four components Standards-Version



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.13
Severity: wishlist

Debian Policy (section 5.6.11 and note 30) explicitly allows 4-components
Standards-Version fields.  However, as a new maintainter, I've been
suggested on debian-mentors to stick with 3-components.

Should lintian suggests sticking with 3-components (level: info) ?  There's
a bit of personal taste here.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell:  /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-686
Locale: LANG=en_CA, LC_CTYPE=en_CA (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
