Bug#420465: lintian: no-md5sums-control-file triggered on binary package with no files
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.29
Severity: normal
Hi,
lintian triggers no-md5sums-control-file on dependency only packages.
Obviously dh_md5sums didn't create an empty md5sums file (because all
other packages containing files got one).
One example is the php5 binary package, which only contains a few
directories and a symlink (/usr/share/doc/php5 -> php5-common).
