--- Comment #2 from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@xxxxxx> ---
The binutils and glibc-common build deps are redundant and should be removed.

Renaming the docs seems unusual and quite pointless deviation from upstream to
me, I'd just refer to their names like in %doc debian/... (non-blocker as far
as the review goes).

I suspect that the examples in parenthesis in %description are not quite
accurate and are also subject to bitrot, I'd just remove them and while at it,
remove some unnecessary bits off it and remove some extraneous hyphens, fix
capitalization etc:

----

%{name} is a tool to check whether an already compiled ELF file
was built using hardening flags.

It checks, using readelf, for these hardening characteristics:

  * Position Independent Executable
  * Stack protected
  * Fortify source functions
  * Read-only relocations
  * Immediate binding
