+Tag: application-in-library-section
+Severity: info
+Check: application-not-library
+Experimental: yes
+Explanation: This package contains a binary in $PATH but is in a section just
+ thought for libraries. It likely should be in another section like
+ e.g. utils, text, devel, misc, etc., but not in e.g. perl, ruby or
+ python.
+ .
+ People tend to skip these package sections when looking for
+ applications in the package list and hence wouldn't notice this
+ package.
+ .
+ In case the program in $PATH is only a helper tool and the package is
+ primarily a library, please add a Lintian override for this tag.
