Package: lintian Severity: wishlist
debian-java policy is being updated to allow executable jar files as long as they depend on jarwrapper, which implements a binfmt_misc wrapper to run them. Currently lintian produces an executable-not-elf-or-script warning about such files. I am detecting jar files using the zip magic bytes (since they are zip files) and the existence of a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file inside.
