Bug#899265: lintian: False positive for header-has-overly-generic-name with bsd/libutil.h



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.87
Severity: important

Hi!

The new header-has-overly-generic-name tag triggers on libbsd-dev,
which is IMO a false positive.

The libbsd-dev headers are namespaced under bsd/, so they do not
pollute the global namespace. And this one needs to be named libutil.h
because it's an overlay over the standard header of the same name.

Thanks,
Guillem
