Bug#486682: lintian: warn if wildcards in .install could let a SONAME bump go unnoticed?

Well, that works when lintian is run against the upload that introduces
the bug. This check would act as a "style checker" for the practice that
could eventually cause the bug (and works at any point between the
adding of the wildcard and the fatal upload happening). So, it's a bit
of a "prevention" mechanism.

Cheers,
