Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: wishlist

Please warn about empty or whitespace-only files being listed in
debian/*docs when dh_installdocs is being used, or on the command-line
to the dh_installdocs command in debian/rules. Shipping useless files
in .debs should be discouraged. Please also warn on empty files
in /usr/share/doc.
