Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120909 Severity: normal Dear Joey,
"man debhelper" says for compat level 9: Executable debhelper config files are run and their output used as the configuration. Nevertheless, this doesn't seem to count for dh_lintian and debian/<package>.lintian-overrides: $ ls -l debian/zsh.lintian-overrides -rwxr-xr-x 1 abe abe 194 Jan 19 13:59 debian/zsh.lintian-overrides* $ cat debian/zsh.lintian-overrides #!/bin/sh # Only one of many files affected -> likely a false positive echo "zsh: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH`/zsh/5.0.2/zsh/zleparameter.so" $ debian/zsh.lintian-overrides zsh: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/zsh/5.0.2/zsh/zleparameter.so $ acat ../zsh_5.0.2-3_amd64.deb ./usr/share/lintian/overrides/zsh #!/bin/sh # Only one of many files affected -> likely a false positive echo "zsh: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/lib/`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_MULTIARCH`/zsh/5.0.2/zsh/zleparameter.so" I would have expected to have the output of debian/zsh.lintian-overrides run as script in the package, not the shell script itself. Or does this not count as "debhelper configuration file" as it's used 1:1 in the package? If so, I'd be happy if a) this would be more clear in the man pages, and if b) there would be a possibility to use dynamically generated multi-arch paths (as generated with dh compat level 9, too) in lintian.overrides with dh_lintian. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (902, 'testing-updates'), (901, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.22-7.1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii dpkg-dev 1.16.9 ii file 5.11-2 ii html2text 1.3.2a-15 ii man-db 2.6.2-1 ii perl 5.14.2-16 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu2 debhelper recommends no packages.
