If we're shelling out, why not offload the whole thing to shell code
via an external script in gar/bin?
I wonder if checkpkg isn't a better place for this check though?
Separating package building from package verification makes sense to
me. I know it's low hanging fruit to catch this directly in GAR but
it feels wrong to me. If I want to build two packages with the same
description, I should be able to do so...and then override checkpkg
which enforces the policy.
What do others think about moving the check?
Thanks
