Interesting, that issue seems rather common. Maybe a lintian check could alarm packagers of this? See below for a list of *.dll files in packages starting with 'a' only. Overall, I found *.dll files in around 131 packages (of course not all of those represent a problem). /Simon ./abe_1.1.orig.tar.gz:abe-1.1/SDL.dll ./abe_1.1.orig.tar.gz:abe-1.1/SDL_mixer.dll ./activemq_5.6.0+dfsg.orig.tar.gz:activemq-5.6.0+dfsg/assembly/src/release/bin/win64/wrapper.dll ./alpine_2.02.orig.tar.gz:re-alpine-2.02/alpine/ldap32.dll ./alpine_2.02.orig.tar.gz:re-alpine-2.02/ldap/binaries/debug/ldap32.dll ./alpine_2.02.orig.tar.gz:re-alpine-2.02/ldap/binaries/debug/libldap.dll ./alpine_2.02.orig.tar.gz:re-alpine-2.02/ldap/binaries/release/ldap32.dll ./alpine_2.02.orig.tar.gz:re-alpine-2.02/ldap/binaries/release/libldap.dll ./altos_1.0.3.tar.gz:altos-1.0.3/altosui/Instdrv/NSIS/Plugins/InstDrv.dll ./antlr_2.7.7+dfsg.orig.tar.gz:antlr-2.7.7/examples/csharp/csharp_v1/Tools/runtime.dll ./antlr_2.7.7.orig.tar.gz:antlr-2.7.7/examples/csharp/csharp_v1/Tools/runtime.dll ./argyll_1.1.1.orig.tar.gz:argyll-1.1.1/libusbw/ddk_make/sources_dll ./argyll_1.1.1.orig.tar.gz:argyll-1.1.1/libusbw/libusb0.dll ./argyll_1.1.1.orig.tar.gz:argyll-1.1.1/libusbw/libusb0_x64.dll ./armadillo_0.9.52.orig.tar.gz:armadillo-0.9.52/examples/lib_win32/blas_win32_MT.dll ./armadillo_0.9.52.orig.tar.gz:armadillo-0.9.52/examples/lib_win32/lapack_win32_MT.dll ./atanks_5.5.orig.tar.gz:atanks-5.5/alleg42.dll ./atanks_5.5.orig.tar.gz:atanks-5.5/src/alleg42.dll -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
