Bug#598251: Warn about leftover *.debhelper.log and *.substvars
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
when a binary package is removed from debian/control then dh_clean
will not remove some of the generated files from the last build.
Namely the <package>.debhelper.log and <package>.substvars. There are
probably more (<package>.postinst.debhelper?) but those are the only
two I had in my case.
Please warn if any of those generated files exist in a source package.
MfG
Goswin
