Checking packages with Lintian

Use lintian -IE --pedantic <changes-file> to check a package for compliance with the Debian policy. Ensure it is warning and error-free.

If you are using a recent Lintian, use --profile=pureos. Alternatively, all warnings related to NMUs and invalid suites can be ignored, as those are different or don't exist in PureOS.
