Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.42
Hello,
After running an archive-wide lintian check I've noticed some packages aren't
being detected by the newly introduced su-wrapper-not-su-to-root check/tag.
A simple way to detect some of the missing ones is by checking the list of
reports[1] I've filled before this check was implemented.
An example is adept-installer:
$ dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Version}\n' adept-installer
2.1.3+b2
$ grep kdesu $(dpkg -L adept-installer)
/usr/share/applications/kde/adept_installer.desktop:Exec=kdesu adept_installer
Binary file /usr/bin/adept_installer matches
$ cat /usr/share/applications/kde/adept_installer.desktop |
egrep -v "^(Comment|Name)"
[Desktop Entry]

Exec=kdesu adept_installer
TryExec=adept_installer
Categories=Qt;KDE;Core;
Icon=adept_installer

X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true

$ dget adept-installer=2.1.3+b2
