Bug#463495: lintian should check doc-base files for old menu sections



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.42
Severity: normal

Hi,

lintian already warns, if menu files use old section names.
doc-base files [1] should use the same section names as specified by the
menu policy, so lintian should check the Section field in debian/*.doc-base 
files, too.

Cheers,
Michael
