desktop-command-not-in-package: link to an arch-dependent package in a arch-independent package



Hi folks,

How to deal with a desktop-command-not-in-package lintian warning when a .desktop file in a "common" package B references a binary in package A ?

Typically the package A used to contain static/arch-independent data which was splitted to a B "common" package to comply with debian packaging rules (to limit the size of architecture-dependent packages).

Solution 1: consider the warning a false positive and ignore it
Solution 2: pull back the destop command in the arch-dependent package

(I can not reverse the dependencies, because A _do_ depends on data in B.)
