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
