Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.4
Severity: important
Apparently some buggy buildsystems cause packages to accidentally
ship /usr/share/info/dir.gz. For ugly details see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576620
Lintian could report this as error, as the file should be a generated file
and no package should ship it.
