Package: debhelper Version: 9.20150507 Severity: normal Tags: patch gtkdoc reads the .devhelp2 files to create proper cross-references in the HTML documentation. Compressing those files breaks this since gtkdoc does not support reading compressed files.
Since those .devhelp2 files are usually rather small and only installed on developer machines, the space saveings are not worth it. Thus exclude the files from being compressed by dh_compress. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-doc/+bug/1466210 -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.25-8 ii dpkg 1.18.1 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.1 ii file 1:5.22+15-2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.1 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-5 ii perl 5.20.2-6 ii po-debconf 1.0.18 debhelper recommends no packages.
