+Tag: carriage-return-line-feed
+Severity: error
+Check: debian/line-separators
+Renamed-From: control-file-with-CRLF-EOLs
+Explanation: The given control file uses <code>CRLF</code> as line terminator
+ instead of the traditional UNIX <code>LF</code> terminator. Since some
+ tools were only designed with the UNIX end-of-line terminators in mind,
+ it is possible that they misbehave or lead to unexpected results.
+ .
+ Running the following command against the given file removes any
+ <code>CR</code> character in the file:
+ .
+ <code>sed -i 's/\r//g' path/to/file</code>
