--- Begin Message ---Package: zangband Version: various Severity: normal This is a semi-automated bug report based on scanning the contents of binary .deb files in the unstable Debian archive. The zangband packages seem to contain a very large amount of architecture-independent data in architecture-dependent packages, specifically data installed under /usr/share. This is wasteful of mirror space and bandwidth, as we then end up with multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture. Initial estimates suggest that several gigabytes of Debian archive space may currently be wasted because of packages like this. The way to fix this depends on the layout of your package: * Some packages need to have a -common or -doc package split out to contain this common data, and the existing packages that need this data should then be altered to depend on the new -common or -doc package. * This package may already be such a -common or -doc package, in which case it probably should already be marked as Architecture: all in your debian/control file rather than Architecture: any . * Maybe the files under /usr/share do not belong there - several packages seem to contain data in /usr/share that is definitely architecture-dependent. In this case, please move the files into the right place. Policy is quite clear on this point: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-archindepdata The usage of these packages is currently: debsize pkgsize /usr/share % filename 2047468 6816 4904 71 pool/non-free/z/zangband/zangband_2.7.3-1_hppa.deb 1866144 6440 4904 76 pool/non-free/z/zangband/zangband_2.7.3-2_i386.deb 1799714 6320 4904 77 pool/non-free/z/zangband/zangband_2.7.3-2_m68k.deb 1951144 6696 4904 73 pool/non-free/z/zangband/zangband_2.7.3-2_powerpc.deb 1925312 6664 4904 73 pool/non-free/z/zangband/zangband_2.7.3-2_sparc.deb Please split this package appropriately. If you believe your package is already split reasonably, then sorry for bothering you. If you wish to discuss this further, please feel free to reply to this bug. If you agree that there's a problem here but need help to fix it: again, feel free to ask... Thanks, -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think the double capital looks lame, and the in-game docs spell it either way. * Since zangband is hippy-free (free for all uses except commercial profiting), it is authorised for non-free autobuilding.
