Bug#514951: [checks/binaries] check the output of strings for typos and mistakes



Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Blocks: 318104

Hi,

Attached mbox contains patches adding a collection script to gather the output 
of the 'strings' command on the ELF binaries of a package, and spell checks 
its output. The collection script is also needed to implement the check for 
statically linking to zlib, within others.

The spell checking part should better go in together with a spell checking 
function that performs better with large texts.
The elf-index file was originally being generated so that it could be possible 
to iterate over the elf files without having to look for them in the 
file-info index. Maybe it should die if nobody finds a use for it.

Cheers,
