dh-exec-useless-usage
The package uses dh-exec for things it is not needed for.
This typically includes using ${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} in an install target where a wildcard would suffice. For example, if you had:
#! /usr/bin/dh-exec usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}
This could be replaced with the following in most cases, dropping the need for dh-exec:
usr/lib/*
However, there may be other directories that match the wildcard, which one does not wish to install. In that case, this warning should be ignored or overridden.
