I wasn't on this list in middle/autumn of last year, so thanks for
talking about it one more time. Will be great, at least to check my
own packages.

With all the hype about FADs these days, we could even think about a
FAD that would be specifically about running this script and reporting
bugs against the incorrect packages :)

It can also be a great way of having users contribute: "you don't know
how to help ? run this script and report a bug for each package it
returns".
