Bug#934981: lintian: gjs-console is reported as an unusual interpreter
Package: lintian
Version: 2.18.0
Severity: wishlist
The Lintian reports for gnome-documents and gnome-sound-recorder say that
#!/usr/bin/gjs-console is an unusual interpreter.
Before I researched this, I had assumed that gjs preloaded GTK or some
other X11-related library and gjs-console didn't, but actually they
are equivalent: gjs-console is the original name for /usr/bin/gjs,
which is just a symlink. I don't think there is any particular
reason to prefer one over the other: the symlink was added in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584560 to make it slightly
easier for developers to start an interactive REPL for gjs.
I believe the attached patch is correct.
