Package: lintian Version: 2.62.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Lintian currently emits an arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share error when it sees an "ar" file within usr/share. Based on the description, it seems that lintian assumes that this is a static library. However, it gives the same error for an "ar" archive file which is *not* arch dependent. For example, the *.ar files in this directory: https://salsa.debian.org/bazel-team/bazel-bootstrap/-/tree/olek-temp4/tools/build_defs/pkg/testdata Please consider using the `file` command or something similar to distinguish between the two types of "ar" files. Thank you!
