Package: lintian Severity: wishlist I am including a list of 73 packages which happened to be installed on my laptop which contain a maintscript with the fragment:
# dh_installdeb will replace this with shell code automatically # generated by other debhelper scripts. Maybe this is a debhelper bug? Both of my packages contain postinst and postrm, only, and generated entirely by debhelper. They have sections like: # Automatically added by dh_installmenu ... # End automatically added section Which I think is well done. But IMHO the section about "debhelper will replace ... " is indicitive of a bug. Either that text should be removed, or something should be put in its place. Maybe these packages are buggy and need to do some certain thing, such that debhelper can do that replacement, but they don't do it? In any case, I would like to request that lintian includes a check to ensure that new packages do not contain that text. Package list follows; 73 out of 1269 (5.8%) installed packages are affected.
