Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.23
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
The attached patch allow lintian to raise an error if the debconf priority
is unknown. Testing it on the archive gives the following results (I
found only two packages affected by this problem):
E: aide: unknown-debconf-priority normal
should be medium
E: cmucl: unknown-debconf-priority critital
should be critical
Cheers,
