Bug#1031377: UDD/lintian: Needs to run lintian on all binaries generated from same source



Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: qa.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: udd

Hi!

There are some lintian tags (I know at least of
lacks-unversioned-link-to-shared-library), which require multiple
packages to be linted together for them to be emitted. In this case
libfooN and libfoo-dev for example. I'm getting unused-override tags
as these are not triggering (an example would be libbsd).

I guess the lintian runner used by UDD is executing lintian for each
.deb independently, because I assume it has no access to the .changes
files? If so, to avoid these false positives, it would need to get the
list of binary packages for a source and lint all of them with the same
lintian call.

Thanks,
Guillem
