<me> IMHO executable-in-usr-lib expresses a preference not supported by Debian policy (or FHS 3.0) A helpful bystander: the FHS page lintian links to says "To accomodate this restriction, it became common practice to use /usr/lib instead. Either practice is now acceptable, but each application must choose one way or the other to organize itself." so I suppose it's justified if lintian finds a package using both /usr/libexec and /usr/lib <me> ack <me> there are about 12000 executable files in /usr/lib on this machine. <lechner> bremner olly: added for #954149, please reopen and comment there, if needed I know it's pedantic. I also know that new contributors to Debian try and fix all the tags, which wastes my time.
