IMHO this will lead to spurious Depends: being added to packages simply to satisfy 5.6. > (All this is necessery to make sure /usr/doc/<bin-pkg>/copyright > always exists.) IMHO, if we are going to try and enforce this policy, we should enforce it so /usr/doc/<bin-pkg>/copyright exists _in the deb_. This not only avoids spurious Depends: but also makes mechanical copyright checking much easier (saying mechanical checking has to deal with dpkg's dependency handling is somewhat harsh). -- James
