Bug#472219: lintian: check upstream makefiles for idioticy



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.45
Severity: normal

Hi

would be nice if lintian could check for some idiotic upstream problems
too.

A nice example where it can help is
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472111

So one check would be to look for usage of PWD (should be CURDIR),
especially if there is no PWD=$something before it.
Of course that applies for packages not using auto* bah to get their
Makefiles, but it will help. And one could add more such checks later.

Some NM:
Essential packages are required to provide all of their core
functionality even when unconfigured, hence they cannot require
libc. Libc therefore is not an essential package.
