I think I wasn't very precise here. I meant that we should avoid duplicating the code which generates the tag from a data file by reimplementing the same thing without data files. > https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/nthykier/lintian.git/log/?h=deb822-data-files I like the 'Default modifiers "/xsm"' in there. That makes multiline regexp code with proper indentation possible.
