I struggle with telling anyone that "their package is wrong," when a maintainer, possibly overwhelmed by zealous metadata collection (hello, DuckDuckGo), added a defensible value. The sources I saw that listed "https://github.com/join"; for Registration pointed to upstreams offering issue resolution via Github. I believe the site requires users to be registered. Moreover, the URL appeared to be correct. > If they're a part of the debian/ packaging, then surely they're in the > realm of what lintian checks for? Lintian can do it, but you presented neither a good set of prohibited or a good set of allowed values. In fact neither side is well-defined, which makes for poor tags > Should we create separate linters > for certain files under debian/ like debian/upstream/metadata ? I would certainly welcome such a tool. Kind regards Felix Lechner
