It might be a good idea to warn when lintian is run on something else than a changes files, but a changes file is present in the same directory (and contains the file that was used). That would not get in the way of using lintian on other files, but it would prevent accidents. Something like: Warning: you are calling lintian on file.dsc, which also appears in file.changes. Be aware that this doesn't check other parts of the changes file. If you intended to check the result of a package build, call lintian on the changes file instead. If you do intend to call lintian on this file, you can suppress this warning with the --ignore-changes option. Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
