Bug#514095: lintian: Should not report for duplicate files|fonts in binary packages when one of the packages is a udeb
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.0
Severity: minor
While compiling ttf-freefont to sponsor its upload, I noticed the following:
W: ttf-freefont-udeb udeb: duplicate-font-file
usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf also in ttf-freefont
This is of course completely intended. Having a udeb provide the same file
than a regular deb package is very common and, indeed, most of the time, the
purpose of a udeb package, particularly in font packages..:-)
I think that, if feasible, this test should not compare the content of udeb
packages with the content of deb packages.
