Package: lintian Severity: wishlist Could check for, if not already: Non compressed doc files, e.g., /usr/share/doc/wml/README And more importantly, trailing whitespace, e.g.,: perl -wne 'print if /\w$/' /usr/share/doc/wml/README|wc -l 13 Could even check for wasted vertical space: \n\n\n or whatever.

I can't imagine any circumstances under which we'd want to do this, and don't see any point in leaving the bug open tagged wontfix. -- Russ Allbery (rra@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
