+Tag: executable-in-usr-lib
+Severity: pedantic
+Experimental: yes
+Check: files/permissions/usr-lib
+Explanation: The package ships an executable file in /usr/lib.
+ .
+ Please move the file to <code>/usr/libexec</code>.
+ .
+ With policy revision 4.1.5, Debian adopted the Filesystem
+ Hierarchy Specification (FHS) version 3.0.
+ .
+ The FHS 3.0 describes <code>/usr/libexec</code>. Please use that
+ location for executables.

+ Bug#954149
+
+Screen: emacs/elpa/scripts
+Advocates: David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>
+Reason: The <code>emacsen-common</code> package places installation
+ and removal scripts, which for ELPA packages are executable,
+ in the folder <code>/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages</code>.
+ .
+ About four hundred installation packages are affected. All of
+ them declare <code>emacsen-common</code> as an installation
+ prerequisite.

+Screen: web/cgi/scripts
+Advocates: Andrius Merkys <merkys@debian.org>
+Reason: The folder <code>/usr/lib/cgi-bin/</code> is designated for
+ scripts in the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). They require the
+ executable bit so the server can run them.
