Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.75
Severity: normal
consider a package whose upstream ships two binaries, ./foo and ./bar
those two binaries are generated from the same source code, perhaps
compiled in different ways (in my silly example, "make foo" and "make
bar" apply different build flags to the same source tree)
a reasonable configuration for the debian repository is:
debian/missing-sources/bar/
debian/missing-sources/bar/Makefile
debian/missing-sources/bar/main.c
debian/missing-sources/foo → bar
However, in this case, lintian will complain with:
package: source-is-missing foo
It doesn't make sense to encourage the package maintainer to ship two
copies of the same source.
