Bug#790932: lintian: Test for UPX compression of binaries does not work



* Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>, 2015-07-03, 08:55:
I am split between fixing the code (making it use "strings" and running it in a check) vs just dropping it, given it hasn't worked for at least 2 years (and likely more).

AFAICT binaries compressed with UPX trigger statically-linked-binary, which should be enough to gain attention of most maintainers.

But OTOH I'm curious if we have any UPX-compressed binaries currently in the archive. ;>
