[ubuntu-dev] Bug#867859: [gdebi] Defer running lintian until it's tab is selected

[Filip Danilović]

Package: gdebi
Version: 0.9.5.7+nmu1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

Running lintian can put down a considerable load on the machine, 
especially if it's a slow one or when the package is large.

Given the presumed "begginer users" target of gdebi, I guess it's 
unlikelly that many of them would even look at the "Lintian" tab.

So, to remove that "unnecessary" load, patch attached defers running 
lintian on startup until it's tab is selected.

Cheers!
Filip
