Bug#698801: lintian: check if "Multi-Arch: same" header is missing
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.3
Severity: wishlist
User: multiarch-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: multiarch
I have filed a couple of bug reports against library packages which had
been dutifully "multiarch-ified" (often with an entry to that effect in
the changelog), but where the maintainer had forgotten to add the
"Multi-Arch: same" header. (See #697380 for such an example.)
It would be nice if maintainers were notified in such cases. Perhaps by
checking for packages which install nothing outside of
/usr/lib/<multiarch-triplet> and /usr/share/doc ?
