What's about dh_undocumented looking like: ------------------ #!/bin/bash if [ $FORCE_UNDOCUMENTED = 1 ]; then echo You are still using dh_undocumented which is obsoleted. echo Stop it. else echo You are using obsoleted dh_undocumented in your debian/rules. echo Please stop it and prepare a manpage for your package. echo If you really want to build this package read (pointer to documentation which explains how to set FORCE_UNDOCUMENTED or how to remove this from debian/rules and why using dh_undocumented is bad). exit 1 fi ------------------
Pro:
- it is possible to build package with buildd or any other autobuilder
- human building package can force it to build too
- it requires an interaction from developer, but this interaction is not
time consuming
This is a good compromise between technical and social means to achieve a goal.
