Would a command line option for Lintian like '--also-look-for-files-in=PATH' work for you instead?
For my usage, it wouldn't need to (I wouldn't want it to) traverse the entire web of parent and grandparent directories. Just the parent directory ../ only.
But being able also to provide a specific path elsewhere would give good flexibility that covers other cases.
For source packages, Lintian would pass the option to dpkg-source. It would have to be implemented there.
Sounds fair. I hope that lintian would automatically set the option as --also-look-for-files-in=.., so that it doesn't have to be provided manually for that particular case.
