Package: lintian Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Novice maintainer here: lintian failed to detect that I had started a second sentence on the first line of the Description: field in debian/control. If as well as checking for a period at the end of the first line lintian checked for a period+space anywhere on the first line, this kind of error would be flagged before submission. Not a top priority of course, but perhaps helpful.
