Hello, I think qemu-fast in qemu package should be excluded from static-linked-binary check: it has to be statically linked because it doesn't load at the normal address (the emulated binary it will run loads there). ie. it's special. The name shouldn't really change to qemu-static, as the "qemu-fast" name is the upstream name, and the fact that it is static is irrelevant to the user. Thanks for reading my mail. prussell:~/debian$ lintian -i qemu_0.5.3-1_i386.changes E: qemu: statically-linked-binary ./usr/bin/qemu-fast N: N: The package installs a statically linked binary or object file. N: N: Usually this is a bug. Otherwise, please contact N: lintian-maint@debian.org about this so that this exception would be N: recognized in future versions of Lintian, or install an override if N: your package is an exception. Note that binaries named *-static and N: *.static are already excluded, just as any binaries in packages named N: *-static. N:
