Bug#892249: lintian: detect broken ftp://ftp.debian.org and ftp://security.debian.org links



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.78
Severity: wishlist

Please detect packages that use the following links (or any subdirs):

ftp://ftp.debian.org
ftp://security.debian.org

Debian dropped support for the FTP protocol on these sites last year:

https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/20170425131901.f64ltdn2p66774c4@shiraz.lpma-paris.fr

A list of packages affected can be found via codesearch:

(this URL only works with JavaScript off)
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=ftp%3A%2F%2F%28security%7Cftp%29%5C.debian%5C.org

I assume lintian will not search through all files in the source
package, but it could at least do the same as is done for the
obsolete-sites tests.
