Hi, Recently I am attempting to enable shipping docs of the racket-mode package[1]. However, its info page contains links to image files (e.g. [2]) using the image syntax[3]. If I simply handle the image files like the *.info files using debian/<package>.info, install-info will treat those files as info files and emit warnings, and lintian is not happy either. I don't see suggestions in the Policy manual regarding how images should be handled[4]. I am currently thinking of 2 ways to handle this situation:
* Put the image files in another directory (either /usr/share/doc/<package>/, or /usr/share/info/<package>-figures/ as suggested by [3]), and patch the path in the texi source. * Just put them together under /usr/share/info/, ignore the install-info warnings, and add lintian-overrides. As linking images may become more popular over time, I wonder whether debhelper want to handle such case in a more uniform way, and I'd like to experiment with the suggestions. It would be even better if there is a solution acceptable upstream so that I don't need to carry a patch. Thanks in advance!
