They can. They just have to source the file debianrules in the admin directory of their sourcepackage they compile. You can also just easily use dh-make to package the source directly so you can uninstall it if you don't like it. apt-get install dh-make dh_make -t /usr/share/doc/kdelibs4-dev/dh-make That will add a debian dir to the sourcepackage that works with the current kdelibs and exports all values needed: export kde_htmldir=/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML :-) Ralf > > Basically, I see three ways to fix this problem: > 1 remove the patch.
