 You're missing the point. Those were just 2 examples. 
  
 Here's another one straight from the archive: 
  
 X: dhcpcd-base: executable-in-usr-lib [usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks] 
  
 (this one probably should be a Warning, since there should be a 
 compelling reason to disregard FHS paths) 
  
 While I _could_ --configure /usr/libexec instead, I then run into 
 another problem: 
  
 debian/dhcpcd-base/usr/libexec/ 
 €€€€€€€€€ dhcpcd-hooks 
 €€€   €€€€€€€€€ 01-test 
 €€€   €€€€€€€€€ 20-resolv.conf 
 €€€   €€€€€€€€€ 30-hostname 
 €€€   €€€€€€€€€ 50-timesyncd.conf 
 €€€€€€€€€ dhcpcd-run-hooks 
  
 This results in dhcpcd-run-hooks passing the Lintian test, but Lintian 
 then complains about the script fragments in dhcpcd-hooks missing a 
 shebang they don't really need since they are merely getting sourced 
 by dhcpcd-run-hooks. While I could quiet this second one down with a 
 Lintian override, a smarter approach would be for Lintian to ignore 
 anything within a libexec subdirectory.
