lintian: don't check haskell library packages for doc-base registration
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: normal
Lintian is currently generating warnings for the -doc version of haskell library
packages like this:
I: libghc6-XXX-doc: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration
N:
N: The package ships a .html or .pdf file under /usr/share/doc/, which are
N: usually documentation, but it does not register anything in doc-base.
N: (Files under an examples directory are excluded.)
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.10 (Registering Documents using
N: doc-base) for details.
N:
N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible
This warning is redundant because all haskell library packages generated with
haskell-devscripts already link their documentation under the documenation of
the GHC haskell compiler.
Basically any package with a name matching the regex 'libghc-.*-doc' should
skip the possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration test.
