Bug#884754: bls: detect dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused/unknown substitution variable



Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
User: qa.debian.org@packages.debian.org	
Usertags: bls
Control: clone -1 -2
Control: reassign -2 bls-standalone

It would be nice to warn about present but unused or used but unknown
dpkg-gencontrol substitution variables. Here is an example of these:

https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size&arch=all&ver=1.0.0-3&stamp=1469703308&raw=0

dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: unknown substitution variable ${python-Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: unused substitution variable ${python:Versions}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: unused substitution variable ${python:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package python-backports-shutil-get-terminal-size: unused substitution variable ${python:Provides}
