Checks for urls in packages - extend lintian



Hi,

After thinking about some time how to find/fix broken links in package
descriptions, i came up with the following idea:

I think it would be better to extend lintian to check for broken urls
(Homepage, VCS-Browser, Vcs-*).

Is it okay if lintian needs network/internet access ( a patch is already
available checking for the Homepage field, using LWP) ?

What are your thoughts about this?

Regards,
