In theory it would be possible to do better in Lintian by scanning the
symbol table to see if the libc dependency is really unneeded. But
doing that sounds at least a little annoying.
Annoying to users of lintian or annoying to implement? How so?
Annoying to implement because I think the implementation would have to
know what symbols are provided by libc.
To my knowledge objdump will spit out the symbols with (GLIBC_v*)
Having said that, lintian is slow enough as a single thread, I'd vote
for downgrading the tag to Pedantic, but not deleting it.
