Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120322 Severity: normal In my package fai I have some examples which will go into the fai-doc package. Some examples are located in the directory <sourcedir>/examples/simple/scripts/DEBIAN/.
Since dh_md5sums ignores all files in DEBIAN/ lintian prints me a warning. From the build log: . . dh_lintian dh_installdeb dh_gencontrol dh_md5sums -x dh_builddeb dpkg-deb: building package `fai-client' in `../fai-client_4.0~beta7_all.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `fai-doc' in `../fai-doc_4.0~beta7_all.deb'. . . dpkg-genchanges >../fai_4.0~beta7_amd64.changes dpkg-genchanges: including full source code in upload dpkg-source -i -I --after-build fai-4.0 dpkg-buildpackage: full upload; Debian-native package (full source is included) Now running lintian... . . .
