gnucobol/2.2-1



Hello,

I submitted my package "gnucobol" (formerly open-cobol). Thanks to Adam Borowski for accepting it.

To write the package, I had to make some choices, and I'd like to validate them with someone more experienced:
* I disabled the generation of the *-dbgsym packages with override_dh_strip because there was no debug symbol. Is this an issue?
* The source file contains some build files (e.g. doc.pdf, generated doc.info, ... ). The problem is that the "clean" target removes this files -> the build does not pass the reproducible test. I see 2 ways to bypass this behavior:
- If I add the tools to rebuild this files, lintian/debhelper thinks I made local changes on this files (the rebuild doesn't match exactly the original, because it includes the build date) and suggest a patch. (maybe there's a way to ignore this files ?)
- So I patched makefile.am so the clean target does not remove this files. Is this the best option ?

Thanks for your advices,

Ludwin
