Bug#707534: lintian: Please create a cmd-line option for disabling signature checks
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
At the moment, Lintian checks signatures on .dsc files[1] if they are
present. However, on lintian.d.o and on ftp-master.d.o the signature
checks are disabled (currently by using "magic" ENV vars), so it might
make sense to make an option to control this. Alternatively, we could
always disable the signature check (I am not sure we do it for
.changes files anyway[2]).

[1] That is, Lintian lets dpkg-source check them.
[2] /me admits being to lazy to check atm.
