Bug#515538: lintian: skip extended-description-is-probably-too-short for transitional packages
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.5
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
transitional packages (as deborphan would report them) usually have a short
extended description and there is no need to be very descriptive in this case.
So the extended-description-is-probably-too-short report could be disabled for
transitional packges.
