Bug#673451: lintian: improve use of readelf

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * collection/objdump-info: objdump-info switched from objdump to readelf,
    but readelf in Ubuntu doesn't seem to work properly when used with the
    -D option, possibly due to differences in default hardening. Work
    around issue by using different flags and adjusting parsing. This also
    restores version parsing.

Thanks for considering the patch.
