Subject: README.sources mismatch check
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:29:36 +0100
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

it happened to me that I switched from dpatch to quilt and forgot to
change the README.sources. It would be nice if lintian could check this
file for a mismatch against the patch system.

Regards, Stefan
