Hi!
The shared-lib-without-dependency-information tag has many overriden
entries (1944 currently). Here's a patch which gets rid of many of
them by ignoring kFreeBSD kernel modules, syslinux modules, and fixes
the regex matching the dynamic linker when used with multiarch paths.
I've tested the specific lines standalone, but not in lintian itself.
Thanks,
Guillem
