I attached a (preliminary?) patch adding support for very basic DEP-5
validation. Beware, tag descriptions could use some love. ;)
Hi
Thanks for looking into this.
Personally I am considering if this should be moved into its own check.
While it is related to the copyright-file check I think a DEP-5 check
could easily deserve its own check file.
Particularly it may keep the logic simple(r) and the DEP-5 check will
most likely be extended in the future (e.g. to check the other
paragraphs).
As far as I can see, lintian currently checks only copyright files in
binary packages, not in source packages. However, to properly validate a
DEP-5 copyright file, you need access the source package. So perhaps
it'd make sense to have a source-copyright-file check and move DEP-5
stuff there?
