Re: package errors requiring human judgment to detect?

Hello,
additionally to what Jakub says you may want to check:
* Are package names and descriptions really expressive?
* Are sections and priorities in debian/control all good?
* Check (build-)dependencies
+ Are all dependencies declared? In particular: Does the package make
use of external commands/includes only insofar they are (build-)essential?
+ Can they be satisfied in main?
+ Are they properly versioned if required?
* Does the package build cleanly two times in a row
* Can the package be upgraded, removed, purged
* Does the watch file work (if any)
* Does the package ship files where they are expected to be (/var/lib
vs. /var/cache; /usr/bin vs. /usr/sbin; etc ...)
* Does the package tell apart binary packages in a sane way (if it
builds multiple packages out of a single source package)
* Does the package make use of embedded code copies (Lintian does not
detect all of them)
... and probably much more I forgot right now. But please keep posting,
I'll add this list to http://mentors.debian.net/intro-reviewers in future.
