Hi, I don't think policy really has much place establishing an arbitrary file limit either, though. Having a warning in lintian for arbitrarily long (perhaps >= 256) filenames is totally reasonable i'd say, but there's no reason to otherwise throw out limits for the sake of having them. It should be pointed out that even if we had such a limit in policy, it would still be possible for a policy-compliant package to FTBFS on a buildd because there will inevitably be intermediate paths >= this size... so don't know what it would gain anyone. sean
