Linda is not bad but when looking at the past I came to a point where I stopped using it because of its bugs.
I have an alias in my .bashrc which helps me with this stuff: alias checkdeb='linda -i *.deb; linda -i *.dsc; lintian -i -I *.deb; lintian -i -I *.dsc' The only "problem" I've found with linda is that when checking the source of a package it sometimes complains about duplicate files like: W: zend-framework; The font zend-framework-1.0.0-RC2/tests/Zend/Pdf/_fonts/Vera.ttf in package ttf-bitstream-vera is considered to be a duplicate. The font shown above is considered to be a duplicate of a commonly available font. even tough those files aren't included in the final .deb
