Bug#873211: lintian: does not warn about .class binaries
Hi Carnë,
> While improving the packaging of a Debian package, I found that the

I guess we should be explicit about the problem we are trying to
solve here; ie. which of:
a) That upstream ships .class files to begin with (which I worry and
suspect might be rather common in Java packages?)
b) We ship binary packages with .class files. This is not only quite
common from a quick grep, but it's not that much different from shipping
a .jar, surely?
c) We don't recompile whatever .class files end up in the binary,
potentially meaning we are missing the source, etc.
:)
Best wishes,
