Package: lintian Version: 2.117.0 Severity: normal A number of binary packages accompany their primary content by tests, examples, and/or other documentation that appreciably increase their size, in some cases by more than an order of magnitude, and as such would be very reasonable to split out. Could Lintian please flag such packages so as to encourage such splitting? I know Perl and would be happy to draft a patch if that would be helpful.
