Package: lintian
Version: 2.55.0
Control: affects -1 src:win-iconv
It seems like the check in checks/pe.pm for what it calls "SafeSEH" is
not aligned with the "Optional Characteristics" flag provided by
"genpeimg -x" as "no-SEH". After a build of win-iconv which follows the
instructions given in "lintian-info --tags
portable-executable-missing-security-features" exactly, you can see that
the "no-SEH" flag is present, but lintian still complains:
```
