1. why this package is a native package? i think a normal package should be better 2. one lintian warning: W: fsprotect source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.0 (current is 3.8.1) 3. can you explain why you override the following lintian warnings $ cat debian/fsprotect.lintian-overrides fsprotect: non-standard-toplevel-dir fsprotect/ fsprotect: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends fsprotect: package-contains-empty-directory fsprotect/system/ fsprotect: package-contains-empty-directory fsprotect/tmp/ especially any good reason to override this warning: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends? thanks. -- Best Regards LI Daobing -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
