Bug#809262: lintian: complains about foreign binaries in dbgsym packages
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.39.1
Severity: normal
Recent debhelper versions automatically generate dbgsym packages,
including for bi- or tri-arch packages. This causes lintian to
output hundred of warnings like this one:
E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/00/02e7d8dea880dca1b41a8320ee21ee8eb31d99.debug
E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/00/bf0686e72e03652b2dc0bcaa76aeba5ec5e864.debug
E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/01/1d6e5033b0ae71215bf1d8b122d9ad4f4816fd.debug
E: libc6-x32-dbgsym: binary-from-other-architecture usr/lib/debug/.build-id/01/bd7da1f231079525315a65c8104b3fcab0f0ab.debug
As the name is not predictable, it's not easy to add a lintian override
for them. Please ignore foreign binaries when they are in usr/lib/debug
or in dbgsym packages.
NB: please feel free to reassign this bug to debhelper if you consider
it should not generate dbgsym package for bi- or tri-arch packages.
