Lintian cannot check for this. Instead, you can file a wishlist bug on
debian-policy so that it gets noted in the Policy.
one example check is grep \ $ /var/log/syslog ...

Hi,
This is not a policy issue. Policy ought to be minimal set of
rules (and document current practice). If you can convince the
developers reference folks that this is good practice, perhaps it
belongs there.

"I wonder", he said to himself, "what's in a book while it's closed.
Oh, I know it's full of letters printed on paper, but all the same,
something must be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a
whole story with people I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures
and battles." Bastian B. Bux
