Package: packaging-tutorial
Severity: minor
Hi,
I would regard dash as a quite bad example for packaging beginners.
IMHO the rules file should use short dh and I guess
"debian/source/format: 3.0 (quilt)" would be a good idea.
For the sake of finding a better example and found the hello package a
reasonable choice from the name of the package but it also has a pretty
complex debian/rules file which I do not regard as the first choice for
beginners. It might make sense to use hello in the talk but in this
case the package should be upgraded first (feel free to reassign the bug
if you follow this arguing or simply find a more reasonable package).
Kind regards and thanks for packaging this useful introduction
Andreas.
