Bug#807892: lintian: warn about using TEMP CVE identifiers in debian/changelog



Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: security@debian.org

Please warn about the use of TEMP CVE identifiers in debian/changelog.
These identifiers are temporary and go away when CVEs are assigned so
they are not at all useful to record.

The regex is TEMP-\d{7}-\d{6} (case sensitive):

Various folks make this mistake, some examples:
