+Tag: command-with-path-in-maintainer-script
+Severity: warning
+Check: scripts
+Explanation: The indicated program run in a maintainer script has a prepended
+ path. Programs called from maintainer scripts normally should not have a
+ path prepended. dpkg ensures that the PATH is set to a reasonable value,
+ and prepending a path may prevent the local administrator from using a
+ replacement version of a command for some local reason.
+ .
+ If the path is used to test a program for existence, please use <code>if
+ which $program > /dev/null; then …</code>.
+ .
+ If you intend to override this tag, please make sure that you are in
+ control of the installation path of the according program and that
+ you won't forget to change this maintainer script, too, if you ever
+ move that program around.
