<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.
