True - LSPs is the common API into linters (and more) nowadays, but I
was ready to settle with something simpler, as building a LSP for
Debian I imagine is a lot of work..

..however, if you start doing a minimal prototype it would be a great!

Who knows if the LSP some day in the future would forward snippets to
a Debian-specific LLM that would give hints on what needs to be
changed to conform to the Debian policy :)
