Package: lintian Version: 2.5.10 Severity: normal I noticed when trying to do some packaging, that if, in an old style debhelper script, if I don't call either dh_installchangelogs or dh_installdocs, in which case (for my package) /usr/share/doc is completely absent, then lintian does not give the "debian-changelog-file-missing" error at all. It does produce the "no-copyright-file" error though.
I think it should not be difficult to reproduce this, but I can give more details if necessary. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (50, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-vserver-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.22-2 ii bzip2 1.0.5-6+squeeze1 ii diffstat 1.53-1 ii file 5.04-5+squeeze2 ii gettext 0.18.1.1-3 ii hardening-includes 2.2~bpo60+1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.30-3 ii libc-bin 2.11.3-3 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.31-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.1.2~bpo60+1 ii libemail-valid-perl 0.184-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.89-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.1.1-2.1 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.54-2 ii locales 2.11.3-3 ii man-db 2.5.7-8 ii patchutils 0.3.1-2 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.10.1-17squeeze3 lintian recommends no packages.
