Is it possible to show comments from the override file on the web?
For example, /usr/share/lintian/overrides/apt contains this:
# apt-mark is rarely used auxiliary script, we don't want to depend on
# python-apt only for it.
apt binary: python-script-but-no-

Would it be possible to also detect duplicates of free fonts already in
Debian?
As you can see from here, there are a ton of Bitstream Vera duplicates
in Debian already (and these are just the ones with the same md5sum):

Please check for *.ttf & *.otf fonts in packages not named ttf-* and
otf-*. These fonts should be generally be packaged separately and
depended on because they are usually useful outside the package that
embeds them (often they are decorative fonts, which are ev

[I sent this to lintian-maint, filing a bug so it isn't forgotten]
I would like it if lintian warned about the following issues with
package version numbers:
1.2.3.dfsg1 (info/warning):
It should warn about this because of this:
1.2.3 < 1.2.3+dfsg1 < 1.2.3.4

I can comment from my perspective (best suggestion at the top):
Firstly figure out what the font is doing in the package.

I think *-patch-missing-description should mention more things and I

Hi all,
Should binary-from-other-architecture be emitted for i386 binaries in
amd64 packages where the package depends on the 32-bit versions of
libc/etc. For example, nsis isn't portable to !i386, upstream builds
with -m32 by default and I use that to give it to amd64 folks. Once
