Bug#629453: lintian: --checksums does not do anything
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
... and by the looks of it; it did not do anything in the 2.4.3
release either. I checked the $check_checksums variable in frontend/lintian
in 2.4.3 and a modified local branch based on 2.5.0; none of them ever
reads the variable (although they both pass it to GetOptions).
Question is; should we re-instate it or deprecate it? A little manual test
suggests that currently is "on by default" making the option redundant.
