It needs for every file * decide whether it is arch dependent or not * copy to /usr/lib/<arch>/eso-midas/<dir> if yes * copy to /usr/share/eso-midas/dir/ and create a symlink to /usr/lib/... if not arch dependent. * if a directory consists only of system independent files, the symlink should be created for the directory, not for the individual files (recursive) If you think this is a oneliner, than please post it here. It would help me a lot. > I don't think we need special dh_helper to handle one exemption. For me this sounds complicated enough, and I think that there are a couple of (older) programs that do not distinguis between /usr/lib and /usr/share, where this would make sense.
