Yes, absolutely.  Ideally if someone could prepare a patch, that would be
great, but I'm happy to accumulate wishlist bugs until someone has a
chance to get to them.  And I try to get to one or two myself with each
upload.

I once tried to add some checks to lintian but found it kind-of
confusing. I'll give linda a try one of these days.

A lot of people file the bug against one package and then clone it and
reassign the clone to the other.
