W: golang-github-gitleaks-gitleaks-dev: executable-not-elf-or-script [usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/zricethezav/gitleaks/testdata/config/bad_entropy_group.toml]
N: 
N:   This executable file is not an ELF format binary, and does not start with
N:   the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts. It might be a sh script
N:   that fails to name /bin/sh as its shell, or it may be incorrectly marked
N:   as executable. Sometimes upstream files developed on Windows are marked
N:   unnecessarily as executable on other systems.
N:   
N:   If you are using debhelper to build your package, running dh_fixperms will
N:   often correct this problem for you.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Scripts (Section 10.4) in the Debian Policy Manual for
N:   details.

N:
W: gitleaks: no-manual-page [usr/bin/gitleaks]
N: 
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N:   a manual page
N:   
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:   program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N:   own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:   sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N:   support this.
N:   
N:   If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:   able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N:   exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:   
N:   If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N:   pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N:   Lintian override.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.

N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: documentation/manual
