Thank you for this suggestion!
The files in question are shipped in installable packages that do not
contain the Arch:any designation. (It appears in d/control in the
sources.) The installable architecture in DEBIAN/control is either the
actual port or 'all'. Furthermore, I believe the wildcarded directory
level before 'nodejs' must be a known multi-arch triplet. Is it okay
if Lintian instead requires that the multi-arch component of the file
paths found matches the target architecture of the installable package
in which they were shipped?
If that is acceptable, Lintian already has checks to constrain the
installation paths for shared libraries, although they may need to be
expanded. (And we have to watch out for -cross packages.) Do you have
candidates for examination besides node-iconv (which I found locally)
that should trigger the condition?
> Moreover in this case ma:foreign is a error (they are plugins)
That will be addressed at the same time, although I am not yet sure how.
Kind regards
