Bug#513086: Lintian could provide some hints how I can repeat a certain check myself
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
Dear Russ,
it would be nice if lintian could be more verbose about *how* it found
out a certain issue and how I can check it manually myself. For
example, I have no idea how lintian knows about
shlib-with-non-pic-code or shlib-with-executable-stack.
On the other hand, manpage-has-errors-from-man provides a section
beginning with "To test this for yourself [...]" and gives a precise
command how to reproduce the error detection.
It would be nice if this could be expanded to more error/warning
descriptions.
Cheers,
Fabian
