At this point, I would simply like to change the documentation. Would that work for you? What is your use case, please? Thank you!
Hi Felix,I'm fine with the current behavior. My use case is having lintian in a CI pipeline: I expected it to fail on error (as documented), but it didn't. I can easily add the proper --fail-on.
+1 for fixing the doc. Thanks! Paride
