lintian is a helper tool used in conjunction with dpkg, the Debian package management system. It checks Debian software packages for common inconsistencies and errors. The latest version complies to Debian standards version 3.7.3. A Lintian check file is often required before a package is uploaded to a distributions core repository.

Linda was another application that was intended to overcome many difficulties with lintian. It was written in Python and was faster than current versions of lintian, however lintian was better known and underwent many fixes to overcome past difficulties.
