Lintian tag: bad-permissions-for-ali-file

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

Ada Library Information (*.ali) files are required to be read-only (mode
0444) by GNAT.

If at least one user can write the *.ali file, GNAT considers whether or
not to recompile the corresponding source file. Such recompilation would
fail because normal users don't have write permission on the files.
Moreover, such recompilation would defeat the purpose of library packages,
which provide *.a and *.so libraries to link against).

Please refer to Development files (Section 8.4) in the Debian Policy
Manual for details.
