Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist

Dear Russ,

it would be nice if lintian could be more verbose about *how* it found out a certain issue and how I can check it manually myself. For example, I have no idea how lintian knows about shlib-with-non-pic-code or shlib-with-executable-stack.

On the other hand, manpage-has-errors-from-man provides a section beginning with "To test this for yourself [...]" and gives a precise command how to reproduce the error detection.

It would be nice if this could be expanded to more error/warning descriptions.

Cheers,
Fabian
