Bug#676581: devscripts: debuild ignores non-zero exit codes from lintian

[Daniel Reichelt]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.69+squeeze2
Severity: normal

Hi *,

when lintian exits with a non-zero code, that fact is totally ignored by
debuild which essentially renders debuild useless for automated building and
testing with lintian.

I suggest one of these modifications:

* at least pass through lintian's exit code and fail immediately
* add a command-line switch do debuild to fail immediately with an error
  message if lintian exits non-zero (and possibly pass through the exit code)


Thanks,

Daniel
