Bug#642033: lintian: false positive - dir-or-file-in-srv matches incorrectly full path
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.3
Severity: normal
SUMMARY
Lintian is possibly using somewhere a loose regexp which causes
matching text against full path (word "srv") whereas it should
test only build structure paths under debian/ directory.
SYMPTOMPS
While build lrzip in directory:
/srv/deb/debian/lrzip/lrzip.git
Lintian informs:
E: lrzip: dir-or-file-in-srv srv/deb/
E: lrzip: dir-or-file-in-srv srv/deb/debian/
E: lrzip: dir-or-file-in-srv srv/deb/debian/lrzip/
I: lrzip: package-contains-empty-directory srv/deb/debian/lrzip/
However, no "srv" directory exist in the actual build structure:
