Lintian gained a facility recently [1] that makes granting such
extensions a breeze. The goal is to accommodate toolchains or upstream
package sets that are out of Debian's control, and hence hard to fix.
Do you have a way to identify the class of packages affected?

For an example related to Emacs, please see here. [2] You can simply
respond to this bug if you would like to explore a solution for
Eolian.

Otherwise, please feel free to close this bug. Thank you!

Kind regards
