Bug#681527: lintian: suggested extra spelling checks
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10
Severity: wishlist
I was a little surprised to notice that Lintian doesn't already have a
check to correct "priviledge" to "privilege". I've seen this error in
for instance the long descriptions for apf (#679007) and preload, the
README files for beep and piuparts, the FAQ for libxine, and crypt(1)
from manpages-dev (not to mention a lot of changelog entries).
All of the added spelling corrections in the attached patch are fixes
for errors I've seen in multiple control files.
