Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: wishlist
When packing software that contains Perl programs, the upstream author may
now be running the latest Perl. In contrast, the Debian follows closely
Perl releases.
I would be nice if there were a pedantic level check in Lintian to notify
about Perl scrips that fail sanity check of:
perl -cw PROGRAM
This way developers could notice and forward issues to upstream as they
package the software.
