    Another test you could consider adding to your reviews is duck. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/duck

    Easy to run, just type duck in top of the source tree.
    Silence indicates success.

    Its prone to false positives with "parked domains" & email addresses,
    but works well in finding dead links, 404s,
    and use of http instead of https

    Peter,

    Thanks for putting this out there.

    An interesting thought, but the output is mangled by the addition of ':' to
    the end of links. Makes all links 404 if you attempt to right click on them
    in a terminal and open them.

    Example...

    I: debian/copyright:62: URL:
    http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/: INFORMATION (Certainty:possible)

    The ':' is part of the link in the terminals I have tried. A solution here would be to replace ': ' with ' - '.

    I would consider using the application if some work was to be done on it.

    Regards

    Phil
