Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.17
Severity: wishlist

When dh_make'ing a "single binary" package, the lintian does not seem to notice
if the package's Makefile does not install the binaries to /usr/bin hierarchy.
An exmaple, after checking the contant of generated *.deb:

drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2006-04-23 20:23:38 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2006-04-23 20:23:35 ./usr/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2006-04-23 20:23:33 ./usr/bin/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2006-04-23 20:23:33 ./usr/sbin/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2006-04-23 20:23:35 ./usr/share/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2006-04-23 20:23:35 ./usr/share/doc/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2006-04-23 20:23:37 ./usr/share/doc/miwm/

FEATURE REQUEST

There is now a 'package-contains-empty-directory' check, which would
catch this.
