Package: lintian Severity: wishlist Version: 1.23.46 I've recently noticed some people uploading packages with an old standards version; this makes me think they don't use lintian before uploading. With this new check it will be possible to track and either ask the maintainers to use (a recent version of) lintian or, if considered necessary, fill reports against those packages requesting the issues detected by lintian to be fixed. Since some people disagree with MBF about issues already reported by lintian this new check could let the interested parties to anyway fill reports against packages whose maintainer doesn't seem to use lintian. I'm aware of the out-of-date-standards-version check, the main point of this new check is that it would only be triggered if an old standards version is used even when the date in the latest changelog entry is more recent than the date of publication of the standards.
