Why would a binary file be shipped? can't a simple hello world program be used, or something already installed on the system? > May I suggest that this diagnostic be suppressed for files which are > *both* not installed Hmm, that wouldn't make much sense, and lintian can't tell whether a file is installed or not. > *and* whose pathname relative to the top level of > the source contains the word "tests" or "testsuite"? I would still question the need of a binary in the test suite even when it just "looks like" one, but anything under tests.* could indeed be ignored.
