N:
I: python3-berkeleydb: hardening-no-bindnow [usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/berkeleydb/_berkeleydb.abi3.so]
N: 
N:   This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" linker flag.
N:   
N:   This is needed (together with "relro") to make the "Global Offset Table"
N:   (GOT) fully read-only. The bindnow feature trades startup time for
N:   improved security. Please consider enabling this feature or consider
N:   overriding the tag (possibly with a comment about why).
N:   
N:   If you use dpkg-buildflags, you may have to add hardening=+bindnow or
N:   hardening=+all to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS.
N:   
N:   The relevant compiler flags are set in LDFLAGS.
N: 
N:   Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details.

N:
I: python3-berkeleydb: hardening-no-fortify-functions [usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/berkeleydb/_berkeleydb.abi3.so]
N: 
N:   This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the use of fortified libc
N:   functions. Either there are no potentially unfortified functions called by
N:   any routines, all unfortified calls have already been fully validated at
N:   compile-time, or the package was not built with the default Debian
N:   compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using dpkg-buildflags
N:   directly, be sure to import CPPFLAGS.
N:   
N:   NB: Due to false-positives, Lintian ignores some unprotected functions
N:   (e.g. memcpy).
N: 
N:   Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening and Bug#673112 for

I: python-berkeleydb source: no-dh-sequencer [debian/rules]
N: 
N:   This package does not use the dh sequencer in debian/rules.
N:   
N:   While maintainers may use a variety of build systems, this one is by far
N:   the most popular.
N:   
N:   Maintainers are strongly encouraged to use the dh sequencer in new
N:   packages and convert existing ones when appropriate.

N: 
N:

N:   deprecated.
N:   
N:   Please prepare for this deprecation and migrate away from this Python
N:   library.

P: python-berkeleydb source: source-contains-prebuilt-javascript-object
[docs/html/searchindex.js]
N: 
N:   The source tarball contains a prebuilt (minified) JavaScript object. They
N:   are usually left by mistake when generating the tarball by not cleaning
N:   the source directory first. You may want to report this as an upstream
N:   bug, in case there is no sign that this was intended.

N: 
N:   The source tarball contains prebuilt Sphinx documentation. This is usually
N:   left by mistake when generating the tarball without first cleaning the
N:   source directory. You may want to report this as an upstream bug if there
N:   is no sign that this was intended.
N:   
N:   It is preferable to rebuild documentation directly from source.

[usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/berkeleydb-18.1.14.egg-info/dependency_links.txt]
N: 
N:   This package ships a documentation file outside /usr/share/doc
N:   Documentation files are normally installed inside /usr/share/doc.
N:   
N:   If this file doesn't describe the contents or purpose of the directory it
N:   is in, please consider moving this file to /usr/share/doc/ or maybe even
N:   removing it. If this file does describe the contents or purpose of the
N:   directory it is in, please add a lintian override.

N:     Reason: The folders XXX.dist-info/ and XXX.egg-info/ hold metadata for
N:             Python modules. Those files are not documentation even though
N:             some of their names carry the .txt file extension.
N:             
N:             Python modules can be both public and private.
