Bug#879851: lintian: package-installs-java-bytecode check produces too many false-positives

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

retitle 879851 lintian: Only trigger package-installs-java-bytecode when number of classes exceeds 20
clone 879851 -1 -2 -3
retitle -1 lintian: Do not trigger package-installs-java-bytecode if the path contains "WEB-INF", "demo", "doc", "example", "sample" or "test"
retitle -2 lintian: Verify files package-installs-java-bytecode files really are Java class files
retitle -3 lintian: Power the severity of package-installs-java-bytecode
thanks 


Hi Markus,

Alas, not a list I subscribe to :)

>  - do not trigger package-installs-java-bytecode if the path contains
>    "WEB-INF", "demo", "doc", "example", "sample" or "test".
>  - verify if the .class files are really Java class files (by checking
>    the 0xCAFEBABE header, this will avoid false positives like
>    apertium-eo-fr and grass-core).
>  - lower the severity of package-installs-java-bytecode to pendatic or info

Cloned, etc.
