Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.9
Severity: normal
gcompris-dbg gets reported a usr-share-doc-symlink-without-dependency against
gcompris-data (which contains the docdir), although -dbg does depend on
gcompris,
which in turn does depend on -data. And it is pointless to add an additional
dep
just for this, since if gcompris ever got its docdir symlink b0rked, lintian
would
probably already notice it anyway.
