lintian reports now, after dh_movetousr:

This very much sounds like a bug in lintian to me. The bin-sbin-mismatch
tag should be about names being used in bin/ and sbin/ concurrently and
not be concerned with absence or presence of /usr.
I can only assume that this is due to the #!/bin/mksh shebang
in that file. If so, please carry a list of interpreters in
lintian whose canonical path is in /bin/ (or /sbin/) instead
of the /usr/-moved locations, so that people won’t mistakenly
change the canonical #!/bin/mksh shebang to the unportable,
broken #!/usr/bin/mksh[sic!].
The #!/bin/mksh is totally right and should not be changed. We encoded
that rather explicitly into policy that while the files should be moved
inside data.tar, file references should remain as is.
Happy to work on the Lintian code if someone can provide me with the aforementioned list (or a way to find it?).
The list is quite simple: Everything.
