Package: lintian
Version: 2.12.0
Severity: normal

Hi,

systemd ships EFI binaries which are PE executables.
This triggers lintian:
executable-not-elf-or-script

    usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxia32.efi.stub [amd64, i386]
    usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub [amd64, i386]
    usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootia32.efi [amd64, i386]
    usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi [amd64, i386]

Some packages seem to override that, like in
https://salsa.debian.org/efi-team/fwupd/blob/debian/debian/lintian/fwupd#L8

I wonder whether executable-not-elf-or-script should be made aware of PE
executables and not warn about them.

Regards,
Michael

It just felt weird that all packages with PE executable either ignored
the lintian error or added an override.

Since I can't really be bothered to add an override, I'll just close
this bug report then.

Thanks for your input anyway.

Regards,
Michael
