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.

Now with the modular X tree, even packages that use imake are required to
install into the standard FHS locations, so this bug is now obsolete.
(Policy has yet to follow with its updates, but I'm sure it will in due
course.)
