OK for the general inter-source-package case. Now I have for the console-tools source package several binary packages, among which: * console-tools-libs that contains the changelog,copyright,etc. in its doc dir. * console-tools that depends on console-tools-libs, with a doc symlink to console-tools-libs * kbd-compat that depends on console-tools, with a doc symlink to console-tools-libs As already stated, the current setting limits the number of symlinks traversed when accessing /usr/doc/kbd-compat/whatever. Lintian gives me an error for no direct dependancy in this case, but it is highly improbable that I break anything by changing the deps. I think it *would be possible* to allow such indirect-logical deps reflecting direct-physical deps, at least in the case of a doc-dir-symlink, in the particular case of a multi-binary package. But maybe it's too much fuss, and the simple solution would be to add a direct-logical dep as well. -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Stop making M$-Bill richer & richer, alt-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | support Debian GNU/Linux: debian-email: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | more powerful, more stable ! http://www.a2points.com/homepage/3475232 | Check <http://www.debian.org/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
