Bug#758751: lintian: Do not warn about embedded javascript files that are not installed
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.25
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am packaging a project written in C++, that embeds some compiled javascript.
One of this is jquery, so I do not install the compiled version present in
the tar file, and I make it depend on libjs-jquery and use a soft link to point
at that one, to avoid duplication.
However, even if the compiled jquery is not shipped, I get the error
E: subsurface source: source-is-missing theme/jquery.min.js
But I think that patching the upstream release to remove that file or
add the source in the debian/sources-missing directory would not make
much sense, since the file is not installed.
Best
