Package: lintian Version: 1.23.41 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The "script-with-language-extension" check currently checks for files like '/usr/bin/myscript.sh', in accordance with ยง10.4.
It would be nice if it detected other languages such as PHP and Ruby, etc. A
rudimentary search with apt-file shows there are a number of offending
packages in the archive.
A patch is attached. (I did not augment the existing testcase because it does
not currently exhaust all the language options and would almost be a test of
Perl's regex capabilities)
