Package: lintian Version: 1.23.0 Severity: normal IMO, this warning should not be issued for any package that uses Imake, as Policy says that it's okay for packages to install here *if* they use Imake. To test this, I suggest looking for a file called "Imakefile" in the top level of the source directory, and/or checking to see if "imake" or "xmkmf" appear in debian/rules. Not perfect, but probably close enough. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-powerpc Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.14.90.0.7-8 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.34-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii file 4.09-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii man-db 2.4.2-16 The on-line manual pager ii perl 5.8.4-2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction -- no debconf information

Now with the modular X tree, even packages that use imake are required to install into the standard FHS locations, so this bug is now obsolete. (Policy has yet to follow with its updates, but I'm sure it will in due course.) -- Russ Allbery (rra@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
