Package: linda Version: 0.3.26 Severity: normal Hi,
people on #debian-devel say that linda is on its way out and sid lintian does everything that linda does. Linda didn't have an upload since more than half a year, does not offer a possibility to override warnings against the source package, but still claims in its package description that it offers a greater feature set than lintian. Linda should either be better maintained and kept up to date, or should have its package description changed to say that it is only there for internal use (it is still used in dak and cannot thus be removed from Debian yet) and that package maintainer should not bother to work with linda.
