> which version of adjtimex are you talking about? -2.1, same as you. debian/rules does the following:
debstd README debian/README.debian mv debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/adjtimex/* debian/tmp/usr/doc/adjtimex/ rm -r debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/ mv debian/tmp/usr/share/man debian/tmp/usr/man i.e. it expects that debstd installs docs and man pages to /usr/share/{doc,man} and moves them back to /usr/{doc,man}. However, the debstd in slink installs the files into /usr in first place so that the action isn't necessary. Probably this is a portable solution (for both debstd versions): debstd README debian/README.debian if [ -d debian/tmp/usr/share/doc ]; then \ mv debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/adjtimex/* debian/tmp/usr/doc/adjtimex/; \ rm -r debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/; \ fi if [ -d debian/tmp/usr/share/man ]; then \ mv debian/tmp/usr/share/man debian/tmp/usr/man; \ fi i.e. move the files/dirs only if they're in /usr/share.
