Me too, but I'd like to know :)
Ahhh, I was wrong because Joey Hess seemed to have changed his mind.
Reading #478989 there must actually be a dh_lintian and the bug is
asking for approach 3. Having slept over it I would like this
approach most and I was about to implement it for cdd-dev.
Sure. But knowing Joey Hess, I doubt that was the reason :)
You know hom wrong. ;-) See #109642.
But this was 7 years ago and I like the change.
I see three chances:
2. Use separate override files and use a naming sheme like
<task>.override.
Why use 10 files when you can use 1?
See bug #478989 as quotet above. I completely agree with Raphael Geissert
and I really hope that Joey will implement this soon.
3. Grep the single lintian.override file for
metapackage-names and put the relevant entry into the according meta
package.
I'd suggest to do this.
Even if I agree with you that the single override file is the better
way to go, I would prefer to use common debhelper tools as they are and
don't invent code which might be duplicated later in debhelper. Would
this be acceptable for you?
BTW, I think using dh_lintian seems to need a versioned dependency from
debhelper 6.x? Or if you have quick access to a stable system running
debhelper 5.x, could you please verify the existence of dh_lintian?
Kind regards and thanks for your input
Andreas.
