Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120419 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
today a fellow DD made me aware of a feature of dh_link that is not
documented in its man page. I wanted to replace a bunch of duplicate
files in a package with symlinks. I therefore added some lines of
shell code to debian/rules to remove the files that should be replaced
by symlinks. Obviously this is not required as dh_link takes care of
removing these files itself.
It would be nice if the man page for dh_link would document this
behaviour.
Best regards and a lot of thanks for debhelper
