Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.49
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I've just noticed an NMU of an orphaned package, and I think it'd be
great if lintian would warn in this case, suggesting the NMUer to do a
QA upload instead. A check on the Maintainer: should be sufficient to
get it right, I guess.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Indeed, and thinking back about it, I think I also noticed it myself
some time ago.

Looks like I shouldn't have trusted this maintainer to have checked
lintian before uploading, nor thought that he would have warned me that
he didn't run lintian when I asked him whether I should report this
wishlist bug.

Sorry for the noise.

Mraw,
KiBi.
