Bug#384219: [frontend/lintian] check the Urgency field in changes files
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.23
Severity: wishlist
Currently, lintian doesn't catch typos like "medim" for "medium" in either
the changelog checks or the frontend *.changes checks for urgency. The
latter at least should be checked; the former may also be a good idea.
