I think my conclusion was that anything anywhere with the executable bit
could be checked against an obviously wrong #!, but libbit-vector-perl
which was the original motivation has got better by itself and there's
nothing else bad among the packages I have installed.

I think that check, or a part of it, should be at the normal severity
level.
If an example script has the execute bit set, but the #! interpreter is
something obviously wrong like #!/usr/local/perl or #!perl,

Unfortunately, people love shipping libraries with a #! line, so we get
false positives from that.
Hmm, so a script in

The very example you mentioned is already reported by lintian:
./usr/share/doc/libbit-vector-perl/examples/primes.pl (#!perl !=
/usr/bin/perl)
Doesn't work for me,
lintian libbit-vector-perl_7.1-1_i386.deb

under examples/). Could you please verify if that works? (if it doesn't
there's a bug)

I would go further in fact and report /usr/share/doc/*/examples/* files

In a perl script a #!perl is supposed to be substituted by
