Lintian argues with some experimental tags:

X: acme-tiny: application-in-library-section python usr/bin/acme-tiny
N: 
N:    This package contains a binary in $PATH but is in a section just thought
N:    for libraries. It likely should be in another section like e.g. utils,
N:    text, devel, misc, etc., but not in e.g. perl, ruby or python.
N:    
N:    People tend to skip these package sections when looking for applications
N:    in the package list and hence wouldn't notice this package.
N:    
N:    In case the program in $PATH is only a helper tool and the package is
N:    primarily a library, please add a lintian override for this tag.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: wild-guess
N:    
N:    Check: application-not-library, Type: binary
N:    
N:    This tag is marked experimental, which means that the code that
N:    generates it is not as well-tested as the rest of Lintian and might
N:    still give surprising results. Feel free to ignore experimental tags
N:    that do not seem to make sense, though of course bug reports are always
N:    welcome.

And indeed, /usr/bin/acme-tiny seems not a python library but a
program for being called. Please change the section to e.g. utils,
misc or net.
