Package: debhelper
Version: 13.16
Severity: wishlist
Hi Niels,
as some (extremely late) follow up to our discussion[1] about lintian
and the fact that its checking binary artefacts at a way to late stage
I'd like to propose some solution of checking policy issues early.
I could perfectly imagine to have some first "lintian-like" step after
dh_clean, checking for instance spelling errors in debian/* or issues
in d/copyright.
I could similarly imagine some dh_* plugin after dh_install to check
several things as well that do not require a readily built package.
Kind regards and thanks for all your work on debhelper
Andreas.
