Lintian will process together.

path is used in case the data needs to be extracted from the

remove
Removes all unpacked parts of the package in the lab. Returns a
truth value if successful.
clean_field
Cleans a field of evil characters to prevent traversal or worse.
guess_name
unfolded_field (FIELD)
This method returns the unfolded value of the control field FIELD
in the control file for the package. For a source package, this is
the *.dsc file; for a binary package, this is the control file in
the control section of the package.
If FIELD is passed but not present, then this method returns undef.
