Bug#255154: lintian: should not warn packages-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6 if package uses Imake



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.0
Severity: normal

IMO, this warning should not be issued for any package that uses Imake,
as Policy says that it's okay for packages to install here *if* they use
Imake.

To test this, I suggest looking for a file called "Imakefile" in the top
level of the source directory, and/or checking to see if "imake" or
"xmkmf" appear in debian/rules.

Not perfect, but probably close enough.
