Hi, The latest version of lintian checks for .pm files in /usr/lib/perl5 and generates a warning if so. This is the result of a bug report filed by Adam Heath. What the heck? Shouldn't these things first be discussed _properly_ before filing bug reports and changing tools?
I also don't understand why the lintian maintainer took this bug report on face value and implemented this check. Is that the new way of doing things in Debian?
