Bug#649329: lintian: warn against .gz compressed without -n in "Multi-Arch: same" packages



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.3
Severity: wishlist
User: multiarch-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch

* Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>, 2011-11-17, 20:03:
If a package is marked as "Multi-Arch: same", files with the same name have to be (byte-to-byte) identical across all architectures.
[...]
The most common reasons for cross-architecture differences appear to be (in random order):
[...]
- Using gzip without the -n option.

Lintian could easily check this.
