Bug#775667: source-is-missing generates excessive amount of tags

[Thijs Kinkhorst <thijs@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.30
Severity: normal

Hi,

The 'source-is-missing' check can generate really excessive output of many
hundreds of tags when just a single source is missing. Take for example
roundcube which currently has 800+ tags which nearly all relate to tinymce
missing:
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pkg-roundcube-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#roundcube

This huge amount of output makes Lintian hard to use and effectively drowns
out any other warning or error.

Cheers,
Thijs
