Arf. The original version of the short description ("A binary links
against a library that is not depended on") was correct, but it was
changed:
linda (0.3.19) unstable; urgency=low
* BinaryCheck:
- Change the description of libs-not-in-depends. (thanks, Adeodato
Simó)
This comes from http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/03/msg00940.html;
when writing the message, I didn't have the time to check the code and see
which of the two cases was the actual one; sorry for that, since that
contributed to causing this mess. Now I've seen that it was the second
one (linking to a lib not Depended on), but Steve applied the suggestion
intended for the other case.
This change should be reverted, and hopefully Nicolas François' patch
in #357727 (or a similar one) applied in the next upload, in order to
fix #2 below, _and_ the big number of false positives that this check
in its current form introduces.
