Bug#639928: [checks] please get rid of whitespace-only lines in *.desc
Source: lintian
Version: 2.5.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
It would nice if we could get rid of whitespace-only lines in
checks/*.desc. According to Policy 5.1, "[control file] parsers may
accept lines consisting solely of spaces and tabs as paragraph
separators, but control files should use empty lines." At least
grep-dctrl accept only empty lines as paragraph and I'd like to use it
for *.desc processing.
Patch:
$ sed -i -e 's/^ *$//' checks/*.desc
