Bug#513766: lintian should warn when it failed to parse the changelog

[Raphael Geissert <atomo64@gmail.com>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.0
Severity: wishlist

Hi all,

It would be nice if lintian warned when Parse::DebianChangelog fails to parse 
the changelog, instead of just silently ignoring the errors.
Example:

'errors' => {
              'parser' => [[
             'debfiles/changelog',
             '5',
             'couldn\'t parse date Mon, 29 Dec 2008 85:45:00 -0000'
           ]]
            },
'data' => [
            bless( {
[...]
    'Date' => 'Mon, 29 Dec 2008 85:45:00 -0000',
    'Urgency' => 'high',
    'Urgency_Comment' => '',
    'Timestamp' => undef,

Cheers,
