# `dh-exec-useless-usage`

The package uses dh-exec for things it is not needed for.

This typically includes using ${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH} in an install target where a wildcard would suffice. For example, if you had:

    #! /usr/bin/dh-exec
    usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}

This could be replaced with the following in most cases, dropping the need for dh-exec:

    usr/lib/*

However, there may be other directories that match the wildcard, which one does not wish to install. In that case, this warning should be ignored or overridden.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
