[Keeping the long cc-list, except for Mathias as _he_ moved this to the list. ] Indeed. See e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy/2004/01/msg00034.html lintian should not try to be more strict than policy for /usr/share/doc symlinks, policy only requires "/usr/share/doc/package may be a symbolic link to another directory in /usr/share/doc only if the two packages both come from the same source and the first package Depends on the second." On a sidenote we've done away with the =depends in libgnome2-common by using this in debian/rules upstream-version := $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n '/^Version: /{s/^Version: \(.\+\)-[^-]\+/\1/;p;}') DEB_DH_GENCONTROL_ARGS := -- -VUpstream-Version=$(upstream-version) and this in debian/control Depends: ... libgnome2-common (>= ${Upstream-Version}), libgnome2-common (<< ${Upstream-Version}.0-0) any suggestions for improvement? cu andreas -- "See, I told you they'd listen to Reason," [SPOILER] Svfurlr fnlf, fuhggvat qbja gur juveyvat tha.
