Hello Eduardo,
While every executable must have a magic number (in that case the
shebang),
there is nothing wrong for non-executables to strt with a shebang or whatever
helps their authors and users to sleep better. And as long as lintian has no
chance to know in advance if human meant a particular file to be executable
it warns for suspicious false or true positives, thus leaving the final
decision to the human body.
