W package-file-is-executable

The packaging file is marked executable. For control, changelog and copyright there is no reason for them to be executable.

This tag is also emitted if a debhelper file is marked executable without using compat level 9, since debhelper does not execute them at lower compat levels.

The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.162. That is the most recent version we know about.

We use semantic versions. The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the 2.112.0 release tag in our Git repository.

You can find the detection logic for this version at commit 02df726. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check debhelper.
