-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I'm maintaining sphinx-issuetracker and during the build of the package it also generates HTML documentation. To resolve references to documentation from other packages the documentation-build-system (sphinx) uses files that are included in those other packages (named objects.inv). Those files reside under /usr/share/doc/<package> and I would like to set those packages as Build-Depends so the objects.inv are available and the references can be resolved. Is this feasible or does this violate Policy 12.3? ''' Packages must not require the existence of any files in /usr/share/doc/ in order to function [The system administrator should be able to delete files in /usr/share/doc/ without causing any programs to break.]. ''' There is no reference on what can be assumed during package build. Should I refrain from using these files? The impact from not using this files would be no/fewer links in the documentation.
