It would be nice if the missing debug symbols issue could be fixed,
but it isn't essential to do that.
* 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:
Please ask upstream to remove all generated files from their VCS. The
same applies to tarballs, with the possible exception of autotools
cruft (configure/etc).
- 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 ?)
If upstream refuses to remove the files, you can remove them in
`debian/rules clean` and early in `debian/rules build`. The first so
that building twice in a row works and the second so that they are
always built from source.
- So I patched makefile.am so the clean target does not remove this files.
Is this the best option ?
Sounds like this would prevent building the files from source, I would
suggest not doing that.
