We used to have a check for this against the binary package but dropped it as pointless once dpkg-buildpackage started automatically removing duplicates. We could re-add it as a pedantic check on the source package control file (pedantic because it doesn't affect the resulting binary packages due to dpkg-buildpackage behavior). Seems like a reasonable wishlist item to me. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
