+Tag: dh-exec-useless-usage
+Severity: info
+Check: debhelper
+Explanation: The package uses dh-exec for things it is not needed for.
+ .
+ This typically includes using ${DEB&lowbar;HOST&lowbar;MULTIARCH} in an install
+ target where a wildcard would suffice. For example, if you had:
+ .
+ #! /usr/bin/dh-exec
+ usr/lib/${DEB&lowbar;HOST&lowbar;MULTIARCH}
+ .
+ This could be replaced with the following in most cases, dropping the
+ need for dh-exec:
+ .
+ usr/lib/&ast;
+ .
+ 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.
