Bug#244628: lintian: false warning for update-menus



Package: lintian
Version: 1.22.12
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

lintian gives a false warning if a script which just *contains*
update-menus in the name is called.  For instance Custom Debian
Distributions call a script cdd-update-menus which causes lintian
to throw an error message which is wrong.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining lintian

       Andreas.
