Ah yes I see; you ship a Python script at /usr/bin/src. Indeed, we
should check the file type more carefully.
Note that since:
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/commit/6f4bd2fee21770baa7dda96ce281b70560e4c560
… we don't actually know the type of text files beyond "data" so this
may have to be reverted and a whitelist of "ASCII text" or similar
introduced.
Thanks for investigating.
Regards,
