Bug#631656: lintian: Please consider a check for long source file names
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0
Severity: wishlist
As per bug #620827 we sometimes get complaints about long file names. This is related
to the production of hard media, so it is an issue of substance. It seems that this should be
a straightforward matter to check in lintian.
