Bug#919162: lintian.d.o apears to report many failures twice



Hi Ian & Niels,

> I: grub-common binary (2.02+dfsg1-10) [amd64]: hardening-no-bindnow usr/
> bin/grub-editenv
> I: grub-common binary (2.02+dfsg1-10) [i386]: hardening-no-bindnow usr/
> bin/grub-editenv

TIL we check both x86 architectures. Why do we do this out of
interest? Are there examples of tags we would only find on one but
not the other...?

If we retain it I guess we need to make this more concise or at
least clearer; it certainly looks like a bug right now. So, to use
the following as concrete example, here's what we currently display:

    aapt 1:8.1.0+r23-3 (binary) ($maintainer)
    
    * usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/debian/aapt
    * usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/debian/aapt2
    * usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/debian/aapt

… what would be the ideal output? Perhaps:

    aapt 1:8.1.0+r23-3 (binary) ($maintainer)
    
    * usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/debian/aapt [amd64, i386]
    * usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/debian/aapt2
   
Thoughts?


Regards,
