In this case, the tag may have some merit, though. That tag is emitted in cases where the script is executable file. I downloaded the package for ubuntu and can see the same $ dpkg -c sudo-rs_0.2.13-0ubuntu1.2_amd64.deb | grep apport drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2026-08-27 10:15 ./usr/share/apport/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2026-08-27 10:15 ./usr/share/apport/package-hooks/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1331 2026-07-09 09:35 ./usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_rust-sudo-rs.py I haven't used apport (it probably is more of an ubuntu thing?) but in almost all packages that I looked for apport hooks, I don't see the hook files to be executable. Would one still expect this tag to not be emitted in case they have executable hooks? If so, I have a tiny patch and I can quickly merge it to skip dependency relation checks for apport/packages-hooks. Let me know. Thanks, Nilesh
