Test 4 (sbuild): Information only

Lintian:

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.

I: python-berkeleydb source: uses-deprecated-python-stdlib distutils (deprecated
in Python 3.10, removed in Python 3.12) [setup3.py:46]
N: 
N:   
N:   The Python library flagged by this tag has been formally marked as
N:   deprecated.
N:   
N:   Please prepare for this deprecation and migrate away from this Python
N:   library.

Summary
=======

Test 4.

If you wish, you can add 'export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=+all' at the
top of 'debian/rules' and eliminate the first of the lintian warnings above by
adding hardening to the c/cpp elements in the package. The lower lintian issue
you may wish to highlight to upstream.
