Yes, point taken.

I admit that I did not really get it why they are "required" (I think
this was not answered by Bhaskar.  I think we should not override this
lintian warning and leave it as a reminder for further discussion.

Ok. 

I will leave these one without override.

I do not really remember this issue.

When Dominique pointed out the lintian report:

http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org.html#fis-gtm

one of the last entries is about: PIC

http://lintian.debian.org/tags/shlib-with-non-pic-code.html

• usr/lib/fis-gtm/V6.0-003_i486/libgtmshr.so

I'm assuming that this will be solved by adding the -fPIC flag 

to the compiler flags in CMake when we are configuring for x64...

but I have not investigated this further yet...

  Thanks
