You can call lintian with --info flag. Also, as far as I'm aware /var/cache/urbanterror-data is already removed after successful package installation and configuration. I removed the -data package with dpkg --purge because I didn't have enough free space and in this case the /var/cache/urbanterror-data was kept. I'm not fan of the -data package because it needs a lot of free space and for most of the user it will be long to install. During this process, all the apt-get upgrade a blocked. I wonder if it's not a better solution to provide a script in the urbanterror package that download urbanterror files. For example a wrapper for the urbanterror command that check for the data files and suggest to download the file if needed. Cheers, Gonéri

Please don't do this. :( * There is plently of prior art in including large -data packages for games (nexuiz-data, for example). * It's unfair on people with low bandwidth or no internet access, especially as it won't even appear on Debian DVDs. * It bypasses existing mirroring setups, such as local mirrors or APT caches: If I host a LAN party, my local Debian mirror can provide most of the games we want to play at ~50MiB/s. However, if a game package was merely a wrapper, my guests would then start to--perhaps concurrently-- downloading large files from the internet at a relatively awful speed. It would, of course, be possible to provide a means of supplying the file manually instead of downloading, but this is really awkward, and is no better than just providing the .deb of the -data package.

The binary-common section of your rules file is useless. The -a parameter used with debhelpers is also useless since you build just one archindep package.
