Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.61
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to have a debreview or debinspect tool that takes a .dsc
as argument and that displays the debian packaging files in a pager view.

Some people were used to review source packages by opening the .diff.gz
file with zless. Now with native packages or 3.0 (quilt) package, this is
not possible so it would be nice to be able to easily review the debian
packaging files of all source packages with a standardized command.

It could even optimize the review by displaying the content in an order
that makes sense:
- first the last changelog entry
- then debian/control
- then debian/rules
- then other files in debian/ (except what's listed elsewhere in this list)
- then debian/source/*
- then debian/<package>.*
- then debian/patches/*
- then debian/changelog in its entirety

Cheers,
Raphael H.
