Also the tests got added to lintian in the first place to prevent running *scripts* from external resources. Here we are talking about an <img> tag (I guess it is about the image reference in footer.html in the libmseed source). I was always wondering, why this kind of stuff now warrants a lintian *warning*, especially since I cannot remember that the project every agreed on anything like it. Regards, Daniel
