Bug#367327: Lintian should detect corrupted data.tar.gz
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.16
Severity: wishlist
gzip crc errors in the components of a .deb (conrol.tar.gz and
data.tar.gz) should be detected and reported as a lintian error.
For example, #364293 should thusly have been detected by lintian (not
that it'd have helped in this case, as lintien does detect the md5sum
mismatch), but still.
