I'm honestly not sure. udebs are a bizarre special case with no complete specification that I know of, so there isn't really a reference for what they should and shouldn't have relative to a regular package. (Ideally, we should specify udebs in Policy, but part of the point of udebs is that they often don't comply with Policy, so this is tricky.) I'd check with the d-i team and ask them their opinion. I'm happy to modify lintian to match if needed. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
