Dear Release Team, GCC uses PIE by default in unstable and testing but most packages which haven't been rebuilt since the transition still ship unprotected binaries [1].
If the Team agrees I suggest rebuilding the packages which would benefit from a rebuild. In case this gets a green light I would volunteer to perform a test rebuild for each package to see if the lintian warning goes away. Ideally #848129 would be fixed before the rebuild but it seems unlikely that it would move forward without Release Team weighing in. I support Adrian's suggestion about removing all PIE support from dpkg. Cheers, Balint [1] https://lintian.debian.org/tags/hardening-no-pie.html PS: Thanks to Hanno Böck for asking about the current situation and triggering this email. :-)
