Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist
Please explicitly state in the Policy if linking
/usr/share/doc/arch:any_package to ../arch:all_package
(where arch:any_package and arch:all_package come
from the same source package) is allowed or not.
In other words: please specify if ${source:Version} is
sufficient for dependency between such packages,
or if ${binary:Version} (which breaks binNMUs) needs
to be used instead.
See the following bugs for background:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=747141
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766711
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766795
In my opinion, as I wrote in #766711, footnote [116] allows such
linking, as it seems to refer to source version of a package.
Regards,
robert
