Hi, Okay. Forget what I said about quilt, I don't think it'd fix this particular issue either. Right now, the problem is in the original source (aka the .orig.tar). The INSTALL file isn't even installed in the final binary, but just having a symlink in the original source is enough to make Lintian complain. Adding a debian/clean file only removes the INSTALL file from the extracted tree, but not the .orig.tar.gz. I could add a Lintian override if this is appropriate.

See dh_clean(1).What does it have to do with quilt?I was trying to use a quilt patch to replace the symlink with a copy of the regular file, but that didn't work. I don't know what the regular practice is for situations like this.I did not look into your packaging but why not just ignore symlink and install original file? Or replace symlink from override_dh_install? Repacking orig.tar to drop symlink in unnecessary... |
