Bug#926823: executable-not-elf-or-script should consider PE binaries
Package: lintian
Version: 2.12.0
Severity: normal
Hi,
systemd ships EFI binaries which are PE executables.
This triggers lintian:
executable-not-elf-or-script
usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxia32.efi.stub [amd64, i386]
usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub [amd64, i386]
usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootia32.efi [amd64, i386]
usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi [amd64, i386]
Some packages seem to override that, like in
https://salsa.debian.org/efi-team/fwupd/blob/debian/debian/lintian/fwupd#L8
I wonder whether executable-not-elf-or-script should be made aware of PE
executables and not warn about them.
Regards,
Michael
