Bug#954149: this tag needs work
from #debian-qa
<me> IMHO executable-in-usr-lib expresses a preference not supported by
Debian policy (or FHS 3.0)
A helpful bystander: the FHS page lintian links to says "To accomodate this
restriction, it became common practice to use /usr/lib
instead. Either practice is now acceptable, but each application
must choose one way or the other to organize itself." so I suppose
it's justified if lintian finds a package using both /usr/libexec
and /usr/lib
<me> ack
<me> there are about 12000 executable files in /usr/lib on this machine.
<lechner> bremner olly: added for #954149, please reopen and comment
there, if needed
I know it's pedantic. I also know that new contributors to Debian try
and fix all the tags, which wastes my time.
