According to lintian, there is exactly one consumer of debhelper tool called "dh_scrollkeeper". * pybliographer Source: https://lintian.debian.org/tags/dh_scrollkeeper-is-deprecated.html > by removing dh_scrollkeeper you'd be saying that having two gnome > versions installed is not allowed. No, I am making no such assertion. The source code of dh_scrollkeeper does nothing but: * parse and validate the input arguments * emit a warning * terminate with exit code 0 Source: https://sources.debian.net/src/debhelper/9.20150811/dh_scrollkeeper/ If tool is a necessity for having two versions of GNOME installed, then please consider replacing dh_scrollkeeper with a symlink to /bin/true. If nothing else, the /bin/true-implementation is faster and it would reduce the disk usage. Thanks, ~Niels
