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.
