Bug#548819: lintian: Check duplicated entries in build-depends, depends, etc
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
Is it out of scope a check for duplicated entries in debian/control (for fields
like Build-Depends, Depends, Recommends, Suggests, Conflicts, Provides,
Replaces)?
For example:
Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 7), cdbs
It could detect that cdbs has already another entry.
Thank you!
Best regards,
Nelson
