Should I remove unused directories from the source tree?
Hi,
in a program I am packaging, a copy of the source of libtiff, libpng and
libjpeg is included (and was originally linked statically). In the
Debian package, I use the respective Debian libraries, linking
dynamically, and these directories are unused.
Should I delete these from the original source? It's clear that this
won't reduce download size, because they would still be in
orig.tar.gz. It would just avoid confusion among people who want to
compile a custom version based on my debianized source. What do you (or
policy? Didn't find anything) recommend?
TIA, Frank
