I've changed that here: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git/commit/?id=c532f80594b387f7e26d30cf7246055b07e4ef50 > * The cruft check should exclude files generated by such free software. > As a first pass I'd suggest excluding files that contain the string > "Halibut,". … but unfortunately I can't see a tidy way of doing this using the ./data/cruft/warn-file-type machinery. Any ideas?
