Bug#368792: script-not-executable false positives



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.21
Severity: normal

The check script-not-executable apparently thinks that everything that
starts with #! should be executable, which is far from true.  A lot of,
say, python or php scripts are installed somewhere under /usr/share
and carry that #! for documentation value or just for no reason at all,
but it's there.

Perhaps that check should be restricted to scripts that are installed in
program directories such as /usr/bin.
