Package: wv
Version: 1.2.9-4+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: policy 12.3 footnote 2
Tags: patch
wv contains a symlink /usr/share/doc/wv which points to libwv-1.2-4. Its
dependency on libwv-1.2-4 is unversioned though which means, that the
copyright and changelog files can get out of sync. This violates the
Debian policy section 12.3 footnote 2.
This is because, wv installes this symlink manually rather than using
dh_installdocs --link-doc. Thus, wv needs to add
"libwv-1.2-4 (= ${binary:Version})" to its Depends in debian/control.
Note that libwv-dev is already correctly doing so.
Attaching a .debdiff for convenience.
