Package: lintian
Version: 2.27.0
Severity: wishlist
Based on the problem discovered in #942487 where a Provides line of more
than 256K slipped in the archive, I believe it would be nice if lintian
could:
1/ emit a warning when a field is larger than say 16K (somehow to force
the maintainer to think twice whether's he's doing something
reasonable)
2/ emit an error when a field is larger than 200K (it breaks reprepro
above 256K)
This should be applied to .deb headers and .dsc headers. (.changes headers
are less interesting as they are auto-generated without much control by
the maintainer, or are a simple copy of fields already present in other
files).
