Package: lintian Version: 2.5.25 Severity: wishlist Dear Lintian Hackers,
the recent upload of libcdio 0.92-1 to experimental causes nearly every APT-based command (at least "apt-get update", "apt-cache policy foobar", "apt-get source libcdio=0.92-1", and "aptitude" to argue about an unknown Multi-Arch type: $ apt-cache policy foobar W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libcdio-dev' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libiso9660-dev' W: Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libudf-dev' W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems N: Unable to locate package foobar $ (See https://bugs.debian.org/759099 for the according report.) Lintian so far seems not to detect this annoying issue. So please emit an Error level warning if the Multi-Arch control field in any source or binary package contains unknown values, or at least if it contains "no".
