Bug#415558: lintian: too pedantic about /usr/lib vs. /usr/share (image-file-in-usr-lib)



Hi,

On debian-python, there just was a discussion about where to put python
packages, and the common agreement is that they should go completely to
/usr/lib.

This included f.e. images that are distributed within the package tree.
Also, the Debian Policy now (3.9.6 -- see #741304) allows to put whole
package trees (including data) into /usr/lib.

Therefore, having an image in /usr/lib is not (longer) a reason to warn; the
severity should be lowered to "info".

Best regards

Ole
