Bug#515137: lintian: source-contains-prebuilt-binary false positive on files in test suite



Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.5
Severity: minor

Playing around with the new pedantic diagnostics, I noticed this one:

P: source-contains-prebuilt-binary tests/diff_a_binary_file/binary
 
This file is in the upstream testsuite; it's not a complete executable,
although it does have a valid ELF header (it appears to be the first 1024
bytes of some random program one of the developers had lying around).
May I suggest that this diagnostic be suppressed for files which are
*both* not installed *and* whose pathname relative to the top level of
the source contains the word "tests" or "testsuite"?
