Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.1
Severity: wishlist
I observe that quite often debian/copyright files that declare they are DEP-5-compliant, does not really follow the specification. It would be nice if lintian could warn if this is the case.
Even throwing a generic control file parser at the problem would be quite effective. E.g., out of 111 DEP-5-ish debian/copyright files in Debian Python Modules Team, 19 is so broken cannot be even parsed by grep-dctrl.

Hi,

Accepted as commit 81033a9c3da1cce306ddd5d7ad93eb16183c75a.

Since this has not been part of an official release I am closing it now.  :)
