Yes, it does check that on the deb file, but most folks probably don't realize that deb files can be validated. Its also easy to miss changes when updating packages.

btw:

main/finkinfo/libs 166 % fink validate libfinch0.info
Validating package file libfinch0.info...
Warning: Field "files" of "splitoff" contains entries that end in "/" (libfinch0.info)
Warning: Description ends with ".". (libfinch0.info)
main/finkinfo/libs 167 % fink validate libibrary0.info
Validating package file libibrary0.info...
Warning: Length of package description exceeds 45 characters. (libibrary0.info)

To the maintainers of code2html, shntool, gaim-ssl, jove, trackballs, snownews,
and shorten. Does fink validate check this? If not, could that be added? Also,
if it is not already, running fink validate should be required for all packages before
they are added to unstable.
