Bug#1132378: directx-headers: lintian error: no-code-sections for libDirectX-Guids.a

Source: directx-headers
Version: 1.614.1-1
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

Dear Maintainer,

I am currently working on an experiment to backport mesa 26.0.3-1 into
trixie and thus backporting directx-headers 1.619.1-1 as well as a
dependency.

When building using debusine, I get errors in the lintian workflow [0] that
are also found on the version in unstable [1]. Namely, a no-code-sections
tag [2] for the libDirectX-Guids.a on all built archs.

I believe this is a false positive, in which case we should mark it as
such in a lintian override file so that it can be ignored in Debian UDD
and also in Debusine or for anyone working on the package and running
lintian on it.

If it is a real bug though, then it should be investigated more.

I can propose a salsa PR, or attach a patch on this bug, at your
convenience, if we can confirm that it is a fake positive so it can be
ruled out in a lintian override.

Thanks,

Agathe.
