lintian - man pages
i'm the upstream maintainer for a package, but i'm add the initial
debian support too. i built a deb, but lintian 1.20.16 is complaining:
** problem1:
E: redael: binary-without-manpage redael
E: redael: binary-without-manpage redael-filmview
W: redael: file-in-unusual-dir share/man/man1/redael.1
W: redael: file-in-unusual-dir share/man/man1/redael-filmview.1
This seems really silly. Do i need to pass some options to dh_installman?
i read the man page, but my impression is that dh_installman is designed
for upstream packages that don't have man pages. i'm missing something
really obvious.
** problem2:
W: redael: package-contains-upstream-install-documentation usr/share/doc/redael/INSTALL
E: redael: symlink-should-be-relative usr/share/doc/redael/INSTALL /usr/share/automake/INSTALL
A generic INSTALL is required by GNU standards, no? i'm using autotools
to build stuff. Should i replace the symlink with a copy of the file?
