Sure, and sorry, should have provided one earlier. For example one
that's present on most systems:

  $ strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0.0 \
    | grep sensible-

And just realized the fix only checks shell scripts, so even something
like this (which I'll fix for 1.19.0 :) does not trigger:

  $ grep sensible- /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/Source/Package/V2.pm

For a larger list of hits, with many false positives due to changelog
or documentation matches, but to see the reach of the problem:

Thanks,
