Bug#463900: False positive for missing dh_desktop call in packages without MimeType fields
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.42
Severity: normal
One of my packages produces this lintian warning:
W: heroes source: desktop-file-but-no-dh_desktop-call
N:
N: It looks like your package includes a .desktop file and you use
N: debhelper to build it, but you don't call dh_desktop in your rules
N: file.
But according to dh_desktop(1), this is only needed or useful for
files that contain a Mime-Type entry. Should lintian really be telling
me to run no-ops?
