Package: vistrails
Version: 2.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The vistrails appears to copy significant portions of its contents to
multiple places. The places are:

/usr/share/vistrails/contrib
/usr/share/doc/vistrails/contrib
/usr/share/doc/vistrails

The files copied make up a significant portion of the package (about
1/3). Is it possible to replace some copies with symbolic links in order
to reduce installation size and mirror usage?

You can find details on what is being copied at:
http://dedup.debian.net/compare/vistrails/vistrails

The reasons for these copies is that some patterns are listed in
multiple debhelper files. In particular the "contrib/*" (listed in
vistrails.install and vistrails.docs) and "contrib" (listed
vistrails.docs) patterns cause the above mentioned duplication.

Please consider dropping some of these patterns and optionally replacing
them with symbolic links to the remaining install location.

Thanks

Helmut
