Hi,

Sean uses Lintian in eshell. It would be great if we could provide a
lintian mode in Emacs.

Similar to the old info system, it could provide clickable links for
tag definitions, and perhaps even the reference citations.

Thanks to Sean Whitton for the idea!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner

Hello,

I do not intend to implement this, so unsetting owner metadata.

Hi,

With that commit [1] Lintian now offers rudimentary Emacs integration. [2]

In the future, pointed hints may allow the user to travel directly to
the file indicated in the packaging hint.

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
