I'd really like to hear Lintian maintainers' opinion on this one.

W: dhcpcd-base: executable-not-elf-or-script [usr/libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/01-test]
W: dhcpcd-base: executable-not-elf-or-script
[usr/libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/20-resolv.conf]
W: dhcpcd-base: executable-not-elf-or-script
[usr/libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/30-hostname]
W: dhcpcd-base: executable-not-elf-or-script
[usr/libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/50-timesyncd.conf]

None of the above have any shebang, because they are merely script
fragments sourced by /usr/libexec/dhcpcd-run-hooks (which has the
expected shebang). Could Lintian perhaps not report the above warning
if the files are in a subdirectory of /usr/libexec?
