Hi

Since debhelper/13.17, which contained the change a16a181f2f14
("Change `pkgfile` lookup to have opt-in features rather than
always-on [c14]") we have for the builds of src:linux when checking
with lintian the amd64 builds, we have from lintian now reported:

E: linux-perf: binary-from-other-architecture [usr/lib/perf-core/perf-read-vdsox32]

This though we have an (architecture specific) override:

$ cat debian/linux-perf.lintian-overrides.amd64 
# These executables are needed to handle processes running in compat mode
linux-perf: binary-from-other-architecture *usr/lib/perf-core/perf-read-vdsox32*

# Some of these plugins only need symbols from libtraceevent, which
# loads them and should not have a NEEDED entry
linux-perf: shared-library-lacks-prerequisites *usr/lib/traceevent/plugins/plugin_*.so*

# This transition was too complex for dh_installdeb to handle
linux-perf: maintainer-script-should-not-use-dpkg-maintscript-helper "dpkg-maintscript-helper" *

These do not get anymore added to the package after the
debhelper/13.17 update.

Enabling 'support-architecture-restriction' to allow to have
architecture restirctions for dh_lintian would help here.

Is that the preferred approach given we have the architecture specific
override, or do we need to go another route?

Regards,
Salvatore
