Package: latex-make
Version: 2.1.11-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/include/LaTeX.mk

According to my reading of FHS, latex-make should not install makefile
snippets under /usr/include/, as that directory is specifically meant
for includes for the C programming language.

Here is a relevant quote from
/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/fhs/fhs-2.3.txt.gz , Chapter 4:

  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  /usr/include : Directory for standard include files.

  Purpose

  This is where all of the system's general-use include files for the C
  programming language should be placed.

  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It does not annoy me to have stuff not related to the C programming
language there. Still, *if* it is allowed to have non-C stuff there I
would like it to be properly stated, so that others can rely on that
(new) semantics.

Cheers.
