Bug#796896: Lintian is requesting python-*-dbgsym to be in section python
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.36.1
Severity: normal
When enabling the brand new automatic debug packages, one get lintian warnings
such as:
W: python-rrdtool-dbgsym: wrong-section-according-to-package-name python-rrdtool-dbgsym => python
N:
N: This package has a name suggesting that it belongs to a section other
N: than the one it is currently categorized in.
N:
N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
N:
N: Check: fields, Type: binary, udeb, source
N:
Automatic debug symbols packages should not be in python section, this is a false positive.
My guess is that the generated DEBIAN/control with "Section: debugsym" is correct.
