* checks/control-file{,.desc}:

newlines. Generalize it to also detect missing commas between
substvars, replacing missing-comma-after-substvar.

on libtool. Thanks, Kurt Roeckx. (Closes: #534134)

Peter Pentchev. (Closes: #534218)

cdbs, debhelper and r-base-dev are required in Build-Depends. Thanks,
Charles Plessy. (Closes: #534684)

by checks/files.

entries are now handled with triggers. Now always warn of info

section. Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #534640)

missed extensions containing the string "info".

they are included in the package even if the symlink is dangling.
Thanks, Steve Langasek. (Closes: #534326)
* checks/manpages:
+ [RA] Don't warn about hyphens used as minus signs inside draft mode,
since \- cannot be used there. Based on a patch by Gennaro Oliva.

signal numbers when the the trap command contains a number. Thanks,
Julien Cristau. (Closes: #534580)
+ [RA] Check for any maintainer script running install-info, since
this is now handled with triggers.
