Bug#667593: debcheck: check for obsolete transitional packages



Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
User: qa.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: debcheck

It would be good if debcheck could check for obsolete transitional
packages so that maintainers can know that it is time to remove them.

The default time period should probably encourage the removal of
transitional packages that were introduced in oldstable after oldstable
is moved to archive.debian.org.

Debian doesn't support upgrades from oldstable to oldstable+2 so maybe
debcheck should encourage the removal of transitional packages that were
introduced in stable after it is renamed to oldstable.
