It could, but at that point there isn't much value in having lintian involved - the janitor could just get that directly from UDD.
The main value in having lintian in the loop here is: * lintian actively goes out and discovers issues (especially on fully built packages), so that lintian-brush runs can be prioritized. * so we can verify that issues that lintian found and lintian-brush thought it fixed are actually fixed Not all issues can be fixed by the janitor either, so it would be useful to have a lintian tag for those packages that are affected but can't be fixed. -- Jelmer Vernooij <jel...@jelmer.uk> PGP Key: https://www.jelmer.uk/D729A457.asc
