>&#13;        Lintian is a Debian package checker. It can be used to check
        binary and source packages for compliance with the Debian
        policy and for other common packaging errors.
      </P
><P
>&#13;        Lintian uses an archive directory, called laboratory, in which
        it stores information about the packages it examines.  It can
        keep this information between multiple invocations in order to
        avoid repeating expensive data-collection operations. It's
        also possible to check the complete Debian archive for bugs
        &#8212; in a timely manner.
