Subject: Inefficient packaging of arch independent data in package csmash

Package: csmash
Version: 0.6.6-2
Severity: normal
This is a semi-automated bug report based on scanning the contents of
binary .deb files in the unstable Debian archive.
The csmash packages seem to contain a very large amount of
architecture-independent data in architecture-dependent packages,
specifically data installed under /usr/share. This is wasteful of
mirror space and bandwidth, as we then end up with multiple copies of
this data, one for each architecture. Initial estimates suggest that
several gigabytes of Debian archive space may currently be wasted
because of packages like this.
The way to fix this depends on the layout of your package:
* Some packages need to have a -common or -doc package split out to
contain this common data, and the existing packages that need this
data should then be altered to depend on the new -common or -doc
package.
* This package may already be such a -common or -doc package, in
which case it probably should already be marked as Architecture:
all in your debian/control file rather than Architecture: any .
* Maybe the files under /usr/share do not belong there - several
packages seem to contain data in /usr/share that is definitely
architecture-dependent. In this case, please move the files into
the right place.
Policy is quite clear on this point:
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-archindepdata
The usage of these packages is currently:

Please split this package appropriately. If you believe your package
is already split reasonably, then sorry for bothering you. If you wish
to discuss this further, please feel free to reply to this bug. If you
agree that there's a problem here but need help to fix it: again, feel
free to ask...
Thanks,

Changes:
csmash (0.6.6-3) unstable; urgency=low
.

- extended binary-indep target for csmash-data
thanks for Andreas Metzler for pointing it out to me.
- some fixes to use `xargs -0r` instead of simple rm
thanks to many people from [EMAIL PROTECTED] for suggestions.
