Package: lintian
Version: 2.27.0
Severity: wishlist

Based on the problem discovered in #942487 where a Provides line of more
than 256K slipped in the archive, I believe it would be nice if lintian
could:

1/ emit a warning when a field is larger than say 16K (somehow to force
   the maintainer to think twice whether's he's doing something
   reasonable)

2/ emit an error when a field is larger than 200K (it breaks reprepro
   above 256K)

This should be applied to .deb headers and .dsc headers. (.changes headers
are less interesting as they are auto-generated without much control by
the maintainer, or are a simple copy of fields already present in other
files).

   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - package-placeholder-in-symbols-file
 .
   [ Chris Lamb ]
   * Don't complain about Build-Ids or Description fields that are too long;
     there is nothing really actionable for Lintian to complain about.
     (Closes: #942493)
   * Drop quoting around the field that violates "field-too-long" whilst a
     convincing case can certainly be made for quoting the offending field
     (eg "'Depends'") it feels too inconsistent with the rest of Lintian.
 .
   [ Felix Lechner ]
   * Detect PACKAGE placeholders in debian/symbols files. (Closes: #944047)
   * Drop minimum version requirement 8.30 for coreutils; process files
     containing newlines separately. (Closes: #944258)
   * Associate the multiline-field tag with the fields/multi-line check.
   * Provide a new check fields/multi-line to do what Lintian::Processable
     did previously in that regard.
   * Fix missing module for --version; remove eval shielding error.
 .
   [ Fabrice Bauzac ]
   * Update the location of the local HTML documentation.
 .
   [ Adam D. Barratt ]
   * Remove myself from uploaders
