Thanks for the PR!

I personally have no issue with checks being part of Lintian, but IIRC
the checks (still) in pkg-perl-tools have little sense outside the perl
team.

Some checks were moved to lintian proper in the past, but I can't
remember what was the threshold: I believe it was "makes sense outside
the perl team" ?

So, just to clarify, the idea is to put all lintian checks in lintian,
whether or not they're relevant outside of a specific team ?


Cheers,
