Integration with other tools
We probably should have better unpacking scripts that can handle
things like a unpacked source package or even an installed
package. The latter would also open the possibility for a set of
new checks that can't be done on the package file itself
Currently many maintainers run a lot of tools to test their packages
(lintian, linda, debdiff, piuparts, etc.). It would be certainly useful to
have some kind of integration between these tools, even if it would
be only a frontend to run them all on a given package in a
senseful way. But also things like running lintian on the installed
package within piuparts sound interesting
