Lintian dissects Debian packages and tries to find bugs and policy violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian policy as well as some checks for common errors.
For more information, see the User Manual.
Auto-generated documentation of the Lintian Perl Library API can be found here.
Lintian is available in the Debian lintian package.
