Hi,

Following a discussion on tldistro [1], I decided to write a linter for the
texlive tlpdb. I ran it on yesterday's trunk and found the following (please
ignore the section about missing files -- I only checked out the texmf-dist
and tlpkg directories).

It's all low-hanging fruit, but nevertheless useful to you guys?
