Lintian tag: debian-rules-uses-as-needed-linker-flag

Type: pedantic

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The debian/rules file for this package uses the -Wl,--as-needed linker
flag.

The bullseye toolchain defaults to linking with --as-needed and therefore
it should no longer be necessary to inject this into the build process.

However, it is not safe to make this change if the package will target the
buster distribution such as via backports to the buster-bpo / stable-bpo
distribution or, during the bookworm cycle itself, the oldstable-bpo
distribution.
