Package: lintian Version: 2.2.17 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch per policy 5.6.8 Architecture: all must be used if package doesn't contain arch depentent files. I dont know how common this error is (noticed the error in the iwatch package). I though that this might be useful for lintian to catch, so I've tried to write a simple check for this. I don't know how many false positives it will generate, as it mearly checks if "file -i" says if the mime major is not "text".
