Package: lintian Version: 2.5.81ubuntu1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Hexter is a package I am working on that runs as a plugin, and the desktop file executes the host (dssi-host-jack) with hexter as an a further option in the command (Exec=jack-dssi-host hexter.so). https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/hexter To avoid a warning in this case, could lintian check if a package with a similar name to the command exists as a dependency to the package with the desktop file?
