Package: lintian Version: 2.104.0 Control: affects -1 src:faketime faketime's debian/rules contains:
----
%:
PREFIX=/usr dh $@
----
this is due to an idiosyncracy of the upstream build system, which sets
PREFIX to /usr/local by default unless it is set explicitly in the
environment. I could do the same thing with some sort of "export
PREFIX=/usr" line elsewhere, but i prefer to not set environment
variables more widely than necessary.
But lintian clams no-dh-sequencer on the faketime package, despite the
fact that it's clearly using dh.
I'm open to suggestions about other ways to invoke dh in a way that
lintian can identify that faketime is doing so. But it'd also be great
if lintian could figure it out directly without having to change
faketime's packaging.
