Bug#254498: lintian: executable-in-usr-lib-menu should only be Warning instead of Error



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.0
Severity: minor

Hi,

according to the discussion with the menu maintainer at

   http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/06/msg00775.html

I would like you to change the severity of the executable-in-usr-lib-menu
check to "Warning" instead of "Error".  It makes perfectly sense to put
an executable in /usr/lib/menu and is the intended use for scripts which
produce menu entries dynamically.  For instance this is done by the
cdd-common package.

Kind regards and thanks for maintaining lintian

           Andreas.
