Bug#994716: lintian: erroneous unpack-message-for-orig

[Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.106.1
Severity: normal

Since recently, I get the following lintian error message on the glibc
package:

E: glibc source: unpack-message-for-orig glibc_2.32.orig.tar.xz ar failed for glibc-2.32/htl/libpthread.a
E: glibc source: unpack-message-for-orig glibc_2.32.orig.tar.xz ar failed for glibc-2.32/htl/libpthread_pic.a
E: glibc source: unpack-message-for-orig glibc_2.32.orig.tar.xz ar failed for glibc-2.32/htl/libpthread_syms.a

Those file are not archive, but a linker script. For example
libpthread.a contains:

| GROUP(-lpthread_syms)
| GROUP(-lpthread2 -lrt)

Lintian should handle this case.
