Run lintian automatically as a linter
Metadata
Current evaluation
Triaged feature request to run Lintian on generated .deb files for parity with traditional Debian builds; override installation exists, but package validation is not implemented.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer-authored request is explicitly marked Status: Triaged. Current code only installs lintian-overrides files, while Package.pack stops after makedeb and never invokes Lintian. Implementation still needs decisions about the trigger, profile selection, severity handling, and failure behavior.
