Package: scilab Version: 4.0-3 Severity: wishlist the scilab, scilab-bin and scilab-doc does contain a lot of .cvsignore file, that are probably not useful, and make some false positive for some rootkit detection program (at least chkrootkit).
Note also that some are executable (for example /usr/lib/scilab-4.0/bin/.cvsignore) making them even more suspicious even is there content seem genuine.
