Bug#127494: [checks/cruft] precompiled binaries in the source
In order to implement this check it is necessary the output of file, but it is
not generated by the collections/ scripts for source packages. The script
that takes care of this is file-info, but depends on the availability of a
files index.
This last file is generated by the unpack-binpkg-l1 script by modifying a
little bit the output of dpkg-deb's call to tar.
Trying to generate an index file for source packages is a bit tricky, as it
can't be done via dpkg as there's no method that prints the files in the orig
tarball. I tried to simulate the output of tar, but either I'm too sleepy or
there's no way to do it via the standard options of ls or find.
The file index is necessary for #512265 and #472219 too.
Any hints?
Cheers,
