Package: lintian

E: lookupd: no-shlibs-control-file lib/libnss_lookupd-0.1.0.so

That's bogus, /lib/libnss_* aren't shared libraries (they're NSS
modules). It's pretty silly that glibc insists these are placed
directly in /lib, but we're stuck with it; lintian should ignore them
where appropriate.

This also applies to at least
sharedobject-in-library-directory-not-actually-a-shlib.

At some point, these libraries all seem to have acquired SONAMEs and
shlibs entries, which seems to indicate that lintian should not worry
about making an exception for them.

Closing this bug.
