merged back with a little work.

fields. Use additional checks.

it to not interfere with the actual bug fixing.

+ Rewrite by Denis Barbier, slightly cleaned up, renders
  libarchive-tar-perl dependency unneeded (Closes: #232875)

(Denis Barbier's version had a little bit needless complexity, and a small bug
(didn't detect 0-size files)).

Thanks Denis! Great work.

make the suggest versioned

- Maintainance changed to group
- Added deb-format check, which checks for .deb's generated with tar versions
  which contain the recently solved #230910 bug
- Next version will be maintainer upload, version 1.22.11 (?)

+ Missing required tags are now an error (and check name changed)
+ Check tag-quotation
+ Rewrite needs check properly, being more precise what is allowed
+ Complain about needs="dwww", as this is obsolete accordint to menu
  maintainer

Again, inspired from work by Bill Allombert

+ Understand icon32x32 and icon16x16 (Closes: #200046)
  (based on patch by Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>)

+ Added three checks for correct su-to-root usage (Closes: #188095)
  (based on patch by Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>)

- Cruft output when test fails
- Dependencies not strict enough, don't know yet how to solve
- Missing testcases

Reopens: #175318

+ Menu sub-policy 3.6.0 added two sections (Closes: #207529)

+ Recognise the 'tcl' interpreter, not the same as tclsh (Closes: #230182)

(Closes: #231884)

+ Drop menu-icon-has-bad-colors, it doesn't apply anymore (Closes: #199341)

I dropped the whole color-parsing bit, as it solely was meant to get the
colors. However, in the process it could have caused an parse error, which is
now not checked for anymore. As the parser is very limited, and would only
find very specific cases, I don't think it's worthwhile to retain it. A such
malformed .xpm is almost not possible unintentionally.

purge question.

+ Check whether po-debconf is used at all, and warn if it isn't
+ Check for required POTFILES.in and template.pot in debian/po

And fix some perl errors in previous patch (mea culpa)

+ Rewrite in Perl
+ Obsolete PO files are no more checked because po2debconf now
  automatically runs debconf-updatepo if PO files are older than
  templates files.  Of course PO files might be outdated (e.g. when
  downloaded from a BR), but it should occur seldom.
+ PO files are processed through msgfmt to ensure they are valid.
+ Based on patch by Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org>, Closes: #210576

Tests still needed, but I have not experience with .po files, not enough to
write purposefully wrong .po files etc...

and CVS dirs in source packages.

+ Check for CVS and Subversion cruft in source packages (Closes: #189776,
  also closes: #190067)

+ Ignore empty __init__.py files in /usr/share/doc (Closes: #215234)
  (based on patch by Frank Lichtenheld <djpig@debian.org>)

  + Check for Subversion version control leftovers (Closes: #190067)

(makes writing, debugging and fixing tests easier).

  prerm, purging is intentionally removing everything lintian-related)
- Update description to say lintian is ready for 3.6.1
- Remove obsolete TODO entry
