Especially should lintian then also argue about itself:
~/lintian/lintian → git grep -E \\biff\\b -- lib
lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:# Takes two elements and returns true iff the second
can be deduced from the
lib/Lintian/Relation.pm: # If p is negated and q isn't, q is a subset of
p iff none of the
lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:# two elements. Takes two elements and returns true
iff the falsehood of
lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:# returns true iff the falsehood of the second can be
deduced from the truth
~/lintian/lintian →
SCNR, Axel
