Clément, I think you are talking about "nautilus-wipe" package here which is the only one I could find in the UDD triggering this, and you happen to maintain it. This hint is triggered only if the M-A is found for the package to be "same", which is the case here[1]. The M-A wiki here [2] says: "The package is Architecture: any, does not contain any maintainer scripts, and common files for any pair of architectures have the same content." which I don't think will happen for usr/libexec. The M-A hinter on the PTS also says the same about this package: "There are issues with the multiarch metadata for this package. nautilus-wipe conflicts on /usr/libexec/nautilus-wipe on any two of amd64, arm64, armhf, i386 and 3 more" Hence, I think this bug report is a wontfix for lintian. Helmut, would you be able to confirm if my interpretation is correct here?
