Sounds perfect. Indeed it should be reported against POFileSpell. If
you do that, please mark it as affecting c-a-t-t and add c-a-t-t
usertags though, using the documentation listed in the c-a-t-t README
file.

Personally I would have just made a text based format with a comment
header containing a URL to the format description, followed by 3 lines
containing the integers :)

FYI, there is some talk of merging it into the AppStream standard as
Charles Plessy doesn't have time to fix the gatherer.

I'm glad to see people using it :)
Please note that there were 3 implementations of this idea:
My ugly unmaintainable list of shell commands on a wiki page:
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian#Check_points_for_any_package
My initial attempt at writing something maintainable:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/check-all-the-things-old.git
Jakub Wilk's much cleaner and better initial implementation of the same:
https://bitbucket.org/jwilk/maquack
He didn't want to work on it any more and his version was much better
so I dumped mine, renamed his to check-all-the-things and continued
from there. Thanks to Jakub Wilk for doing the initial work and
injecting some sanity into this project :)
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/check-all-the-things.git
Jakub writes a lot of things, If anyone wants to package his stuff,
there are still some things not yet in Debian:
