I thought it might be tricky, bug decided to report it in case you could do magic :-) There was a similar bug about the executable being in a different package (update-alternatives). It is the first time I have come across the issue. But there might be other plugin type cases. Looking at the lintian website, there are lots of overrides, and soon to be one more. Thanks for the fast response. Feel free to close the bug. Regards, Ross
