Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.81ubuntu1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Hexter is a package I am working on that runs as a plugin, and the desktop file
executes the host (dssi-host-jack) with hexter as an a further option in the
command (Exec=jack-dssi-host hexter.so).
https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/hexter
To avoid a warning in this case, could lintian check if a package with a
similar name to the command exists as a dependency to the package with the
desktop file?
Regards,
Ross

Doing so; we can always re-open after all. Please add a suitable comment
to your override so it's obvious to someone else (or even yourself!) in
a few months tim …
