Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.22.1
Severity: wishlist
dh_installdocs --link-doc=$targetpackage option makes
/usr/share/doc/$pkg into a symlink to /usr/share/doc/$targetpackage. As
required by the policy, the equivalent of $targetpackage (=
${binary:Version}) is added to ${misc:Depends}.
This works fine aslong as the involved packages are not a mixture of
Arch: all and Arch: any packages. In this case the package is not binNMU
safe. See #748304 for an example of a package that is no longer
installable after a binNMU.
Please emit a warning if dh_installdocs --link-doc is used and the
source package builds both arch-independent and arch-dependent packages.
Cheers
