And I won't bother upstream with this. This kind of warnings just deter me of using Lintian. Lintian is a very useful tool, but too many stuff is a warning while this is a matter of opinion. I have given up on the "info" level since a long time for similar reasons. I would like not to give up on the "warning" level. >> Also, this helps editors turning on the right "mode" to edit the >> file. > > This is an unrelated function that you may be able to resolve by using > [3] or [4]. > > [3] > https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Choosing-Modes.html > [4] http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html I am not even sure upstream puts a shebang for this reason. It was pure speculation on my side. But as I won't bother upstream about adding special markups for each known editor to replace the shebang, I would like to not bother them about an harmless error. Debian is not the special snowflake every upstream try to take care of anymore. I would like to not be more an annoyance that I strictly need to. -- Use variable names that mean something. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)
