Having installed my configuration files under /etc, I get the following lintian warnings: W: dbab: file-in-unusual-dir etc I took a look at the generated binary package, and found that none of my files under /etc are included in the binary package. Also, in order to fix the "binary-without-manpage" lintian warning, I want to symlink the none-existing manpages to an existing one on the destination system. How can I do it? (I found my in my generated binary package, they are all plain files, even I've symlink the none-existing manpages to an existing one in my local build tree.) Thanks PS. here is the part I install my configuration files under /etc in my Makefile: etcdir = ${DESTDIR}/etc $(INSTALL) -m 644 file/dbab.addr $(etcdir) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
