Bug#516706: lintian: [new check] report on missing commas in build-deps split across several lines



Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.4~intrepid1
Severity: wishlist
        
*** Please type your report below this line ***
It is nice when dealing with very long Build-Depends lines to split them
across several lines, like this:
        
Build-Depends: foo,
 bar,
 baz
        
However, lintian does not notice if one of the commas on the end of a
line is missing, and the source package might enter the archive in an
unbuildable state (e.g. if the package is tested in a dirty chroot, then
the packager may not notice the problem)
        
It would be good to check for this fairly common error - the current
Lintian package in Sid doesn't seem to check it.
