Bug#736972: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: Exit status of 'cme check dpkg' command.

[Oleg Gashev]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.043
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

to automate packages inspection it'd be helpful if 'cmd check dpkg' command
return proper exit status. So if successful (cme return zero warnings and
errors) the exit status should be 0, if not successful (warnings or error more
than zero) than exit status should be 1.

Now cme check dpkg command return 0.

For example, exec 'cme check dpkg' command on
libdist-zilla-plugin-test-reportprereqs-perl package:

% cme check dpkg
