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.
Please Cc: me.

OH. Maybe I understand. The maintscripts of the packages in my list
were probably initially dh_make templates, and the maintainers didn't
remove that comment. The packages not in my list either have
maintscripts created from scratch by debhelper, or their maintainer
removed that comment.
Is that a consistent interpretation?
