Bug#615132: lintian: warn about substvars in source stanza of d/control
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0~rc1
Severity: wishlist
Even though it is technically possible to use substitution variables in
the source stanza (dpkg-source expands them without a warning[0]), it's
(almost?) always a packaging bug to put them there.
It would be nice if lintian emitted a warning (or perhaps even an error)
is such cases.
