Severity of spelling errors
Currently, all of the spelling error tags are severity: normal except
inside binaries:
changelog-file.desc:Tag: spelling-error-in-changelog
changelog-file.desc-Severity: normal
--
changelog-file.desc:Tag: spelling-error-in-news-debian
changelog-file.desc-Severity: normal
--
copyright-file.desc:Tag: spelling-error-in-copyright
copyright-file.desc-Severity: normal
--
debian-readme.desc:Tag: spelling-error-in-readme-debian
debian-readme.desc-Severity: normal
--
description.desc:Tag: spelling-error-in-description
description.desc-Severity: normal
--
manpages.desc:Tag: manpage-has-spelling-error
manpages.desc-Severity: normal
--
menus.desc:Tag: spelling-error-in-doc-base-title-field
menus.desc-Severity: normal
--
menus.desc:Tag: spelling-error-in-doc-base-abstract-field
menus.desc-Severity: normal
However, spelling errors are singled out as an example of a bug that
should be minor severity by reportbug. Shouldn't we change those bugs to
be severity: minor since we're matching Lintian tag severities with bug
reporting severities?
(BTW, for consistency, I think we should change manpage-has-spelling-error
to spelling-error-in-manpage. There are two tag naming conventions that
we cannot be simultaneously consistent with, but I think the
spelling-error one is a good one.)
