Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: wishlist
Dear lintian maintainers,
I would request you to please incorporate a lintian warning, two
actually.
1. For packages which Build-Depend on a package in section `oldlibs'
2. For packages which Depend on a package in section `oldlibs'.
In my opinion, we should be gradually phasing out dependencies on
packages in oldlibs, and this would be the first logical step to
remind maintainers about the issue.
I could get the list of packages using this command:
awk 'BEGIN { RS = ""} /Section:.*oldlibs/ { print $2}' /var/lib/dpkg/status
Thanks!
Kumar
