[Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.111.0
Severity: normal

python3-satpy ships (among others)

This has caused file conflicts with other packages doing the same
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=991981

Probably ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/benchmarks/__init__.py should
be "blacklisted" as overly generic and the remaining files under
benchmarks should be discouraged.
(But benchmarks/$MODULE/*.py should probably be OK.)
