Bug#950052: please warn for files installed into <dir>/<dir>



Hi,

> please warn for files installed into <dir>/<dir>

This emits against Lintian itself:

  W: lintian: repeated-path-segment lintian usr/share/lintian/checks/lintian/override/
  N: 
  N:    The file is installed into a location that repeats the given path
  N:    segment. An example would be /usr/lib/lib or /usr/share/myprogram/share.
  N:    
  N:    More often than not this is unintended.
  N:    
  N:    
  N:    
  N:    Severity: warning
  N:    
  N:    Check: files/hierarchy/path-segments
  N: 
  W: lintian: repeated-path-segment lintian usr/share/lintian/checks/lintian/override/comments.pm
  W: lintian: repeated-path-segment lintian usr/share/lintian/checks/lintian/overrides.pm
  W: lintian: repeated-path-segment ... use --no-tag-display-limit to see all (or pipe to a file/program)

This can be likely be easily fixed but, given we did not consider it
would trigger against Lintian itself, it makes me consider that the
severity level is too high.


Regards,
