Sorry, I just tried to give examples for the type of files which should not be reported, not (only) actual false positives. /etc/ seems filtered according to https://lintian.debian.org/tags/package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc.html so there is no bug wrt. to filtering /etc/. My point is though that the reason for which /etc/ is filtered (documenting directories I assume), also applies to /usr/ and especially /usr/local/ (plugin directories, template directories, theme directories, etc.). IMHO this tag causes too many false positives currently. I ran into it with the two cases (image set directory and some special and non-obvious directory for local monitoring check evaluation) inside the xymon package (not shown in the web because of too many tags). Here's what I have in my override files (currently only in git): xymon-client: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc usr/lib/xymon/client/local/README xymon: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc usr/share/xymon/gifs/README > the other one will do something Thanks!
