Description

Debian packages can be inspected for policy problems, packaging bugs, and common metadata mistakes.

This package is useful for Debian maintainers, package builders, and reviewers who need automated package checks. It reports issues; maintainers still decide which findings require changes.

Package analysis can reveal file paths, maintainer data, and build metadata. Review reports before sharing them publicly.
