Normally, you can remove them before running dh_make. > linda clean. > maint-guide 9.6 clean. > > you can got the package from: http://mentors.debian.net/ Some advices: You can ease your rules file (you use compat level 4 by default) by using the whole bunch of dh_* scripts. In every case you should update config.guess and config.sub with the files provided by the autotools package (see /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz). AFAIK the *.moc.cpp files are not removed during the make distclean step (maybe this information is old, but better control it). You break documentation (Help > Manual) by moving /usr/share/xdrawchem/doc to /usr/share/doc/xdrawchem/html without adding a symlink /usr/share/xdrawchem/doc which points to the new location. An alternative is to patch the source (search for RingDir and index.html: xdrawchem/application.cpp:1539) to point to the new location. AFAIK this is the same bug as in the current official Debian package. The .txt files (GPL, COPYRIGHT and HISTORY) are doubled in /usr/share/doc/xdrawchem and /usr/share/doc/xdrawchem/html and they are obsolete for /usr/share/doc/xdrawchem: GPL.txt: /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL contains the latest version of the GNU GPL and this is mentioned in debian/copyright COPYRIGHT.txt: The information should be in debian/copyright HISTORY.txt: is the upstream changelog and you provide it also as /usr/share/doc/xdrawchem/changelog.gz The second problem with these files is, that they become gzipped by dh_installdocs, but the integrated browser (in xdrawchem) can only read .html and .txt files. So you should avoid this for /usr/share/doc/xdrawchem/html. An additional idea to GPL.txt: make it a symlink to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2. This should work. Bryan sometimes forgets to update doc/HISTORY.txt. Update it with the one in the source directory. And one additional thing you could add, is a doc-base entry, because you provide a manual with the package. But this is additional stuff. PS: My own xdrawchem packages are under http://debian.wgdd.de/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/science/ http://debian.wgdd.de/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/science Maybe you have additional ideas or another opinion about something you want to discuss.
