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.
