Bug#949201: lintian: add pedantic check for outdated copyright years on debian/*

[Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.45.0
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

since I regularily forget to bump my copyright years for debian/*, it
would be nice if lintian could remind me ;-)

If the package has a machine readable d/copyright
AND the person who did the last upload according to d/changelog is a
copyright holder for debian/* via 'Files: debian/*' (or 'Files: *' if
the former does not exist)
AND the year in the latest changelog trailer is newer than the copyright
years for that person,
emit a pedantic tag.

(If there is no Copyright entry for the last uploader, do nothing.)


Andreas
