Package: lintian Version: 2.5.76 Severity: wishlist Hi, To improve the check r-data-without-readme-source and to avoid unmaintained README.source, lintian could check if the filename of all .RData files from a package are referenced into the README.source.
A simple example where it could be useful is: a new version of a package contains a new binary R data file, but if the maintainer does not update the README.source, lintian will no emits any tag whereas this binary is not properly describe. Best, Dylan
