which may give many semi-false positives: Lots of things not relating to TeX,
but still without shouty capitals in the correct form.

Historical reasons, I guess.

Erm, GnomeVFS is a key part of the GNOME platform.

GVFS is a different project, which is eventually going to replace
GnomeVFS, but with a different API.

It isn't part of GNOME in the same way as libgnomeui or nautilus - it
can easily be used by packages that have no GNOME dependencies. It is
very useful that packages can use GnomeVFS with GTK+ without
gnomecanvas, libgnomeui and the rest of GNOME.

Sounds useful - I look forward to migrating my upstream projects to it
if it is similarly free of other GNOME dependencies.

Could you also search for occurrences of Kde or kde? Should be KDE.
Don't know if it is worth to look for it (doesn't happen to often), but
KDE3 should be KDE 3 and KDE4 KDE 4 (same for Kde3 and friends...).
Thanks

Just to help Russ out here, but he already described how capitalisation

The name of the S-Lang library is sometimes wrongly spelled as "slang". It
would be good to have this fixed but if you add a rule slang -> S-Lang in
Lintian you will hit some false positives (like in packages ascii and
jargon) because "slang" is an English word.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think lintian will be able to catch that one.

Can't you add exceptions for some packages in the Lintian check? The only
packages in sid that use "slang" as an English word are ascii, jargon, and
jargon-text. Other packages that use "slang" or "SLang" mean actually the
"S-Lang" library.

I gues SLang could safely be added, but adding some packages as exceptions would
mean changes to lintian every time a new packages (correctly) uses slang, which
would even mean that this should be done before some new package foo gets added
to the archive, otherwise people can't even upload lintian-clean packages...
If an slang check is introduced in lintian I'd rather opt for people overriding
this in their packages (following your reasoning that this concerns only very
few packages).
Best,
Michael

Okay, let us add to Lintian corrections just for SLang, S-lang, and s-lang.
I already filed bug reports against the six packages in sid using the wrong
spelling [1].
