Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.112
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

It would be nice to get all the remaining cases described in
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=905469#17>
to emit tags, as the bulk of the offending accesses are being
done from upstream code.

While I'm slowly going over my list of matches and filing
appropriate bugs, having the lintian check might accelerate
the fixing, and avoid regressing with new code.

Thanks,
Guillem
