Bug#526435: lintian: [checks/binaries.desc] Please add to the description that the case of the string can be different



Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.10
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I spend quite some time yesterday of finding a sting which was in all
CAPS. Please add some comment to the description that the string
reported might be found in any variant of capitization. Maybe also a add
comment on how to find the string yourself, i.e. use
"strings <binary> | grep -i <string>".

Kind regards
Paul
