Package: samtools
Version: 1.9-3
This package places the following in /usr/share/doc/samtools:
AUTHORS
NEWS.Debian.gz
README.Debian
changelog.Debian.gz
copyright
examples/
reference
AUTHORS comes from the upstream release.
NEWS.Debian.gz contains an ancient "samtools (1.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium"
Debian changelog item.
README.Debian contains out-of-date Debian-specific information that is now
incorrect.
changelog.Debian.gz is an up-to-date Debian changelog.
copyright is an up-to-date Debian summary of licensing.
examples/ comes from the upstream release.
reference is an up-to-date Debian addition.
NEWS.Debian.gz should be replaced by an up-to-date copy of the upstream
release's NEWS file. (The related htslib packages do this via
override_dh_installchangelogs.)
README.Debian should be updated or removed.
The package is missing the upstream release's README file. It would be good to
install this file, even though it doesn't currently contain a great deal of
salient information. (The upstream release's INSTALL file is also missing, but
that is of course appropriate for a binary package.)
(The related htslib Debian packages are also missing their upstream release
README file.)
