# `source-contains-editor-backup-file`

The Debian diff or native package contains a file ending in `~` or of the form `.xxx.swp`, which is normally either an Emacs or vim backup file or a backup file created by programs such as `autoheader` or `debconf-updatepo`. This usually causes no harm, but it's messy and bloats the size of the Debian diff to no useful purpose.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
