Bug#409109: lintian: Add E: to check debian/control::Architecture matches dh_* rules in debian/rules::binary-{arch, indep}



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.27
Severity: wishlist

CASE STUDY

  debian/control:

   	Package: foo
   	Architecture: all

  debian/rules

	# Build architecture-dependent files here.
	binary-arch: build install
		dh_testdir
		dh_testroot
		dh_installchangelogs

DESCRIPTION

There is clear mistake here. The package does not depend in architecture, 
so the rules files shuld have all dh_* calls listed in binary-indep:.

This can easily happend when using dh_make to package interpreted programs,
like Python, Perl, Ryby etc.

SUGGESTION

Please treat incorrect debain/rules in respect to
debian/control::Architecture as an error (E:).
