Package: src:fig2dev

Severity: important
Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This happens because debian/fig2dev/[...] does not exist, as
fig2dev is arch-dependent and we are creating only arch-independent
packages (as we are doing "dpkg-buildpackage -A").
This is the revelant debian/rules code:
override_dh_auto_install:
dh_auto_install --destdir=$(DEBDIR)
install -m644 -oroot -groot debian/override.Lintian \
$(DEBDIR)/usr/share/lintian/overrides/fig2dev
Hint: Drop the install line completely and rename debian/override.Lintian
to debian/fig2dev.lintian-overrides. Then dh_lintian will install the
file automatically (only when it's proper to do so) and you will not
have to do anything at all.
Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only
form if you wish.
Thanks.
