Still regarding the QA quest (was: Re: RFS: udav)

Hi, Paul.

As you read my message earlier, I think that it would be a good thing to
take this reply of yours to illustrate what I had in mind when I said
things of doing more extensive automated checks:

This one could be automated, perhaps?

This one too?

This could be automated, couldn't this?

Also, please consider the following passage from the manpage of
dh_installchangelogs:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
       An upstream changelog file may be specified as an option. If none
       is specified, a few common filenames are tried. (In compatibility
       level 7 and above.)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hope this makes my idea a little clearer.


Thanks,
