Package: lintian Version: 2.116.3 Severity: normal There are cases where trailing whitespaces are actually harmful and thus lintian should emit more than just a pedantic trailing-whitespace tag.
If the stazas in debian/control are not separated by empty lines but with witespace filled lines, grep-dctrl will error-out. Example: falcosecurity-libs_0.1.1dev+git20220316.e5c53d64-5.dsc ... P: falcosecurity-libs source: trailing-whitespace [debian/changelog:24] P: falcosecurity-libs source: trailing-whitespace [debian/control:65] P: falcosecurity-libs source: trailing-whitespace [debian/control:80] P: falcosecurity-libs source: trailing-whitespace [debian/rules:51] ... d/control line 65 is the problematic one $ grep-dctrl -FDepends -e '(^| )dkms' -o -FPackage -e '\-dkms' debian/control -sPackage -n grep-dctrl: debian/control:65: expected a colon.
