Bug#898431: lintian.debian.org should emit source-contains-prebuilt-wasm-binary (backport file?)

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

retitle 898431 please update version of file(1) on lindsay.debian.org to detect .wasm files
thanks

Bastien,

To clarify anyone else who had difficult parsing this, "file" here
refers to file(1)/src:file, not the to the prebuilt .wasm file itself.

Niels, is this one for us or DSA?

Please try and keep these inflammatory and ultimately non-technical
comments to a minimum. They can do nothing but demotivate the already-
overworked Javascript team from trying to fix these issues at their
core.

I think what you are trying to say here is that precompiled files are
more difficult to evaulate and patch for security vulnerabilies. Is
that correct?
