We could adopt some conventions for debug packages that would make them still Policy-compliant without having many drawbacks, I think. For example, since debug information is practically by definition specific to a given binary build of the package, I think most debug packages, particularly if there's a one-to-one correspondence with regular binary packages, qualify for having a /usr/share/doc symlink. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
