Bug#1063126: debhelper: dh_makeshlibs should not generate shlibs for /usr/lib/python*/ and /usr/lib/jni
Niels Thykier: Package: debhelper Version: 13.13 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: vor...@debian.org, ni...@thykier.net Control: reporter -1 vor...@debian.org Raised on IRC that `dh_makeshlibs` includes a lot of "irrelevant" files in the shlibs. Particularly, Python libraries (usr/lib/python*) and Java libraries (usr/lib/jni + usr/lib/$MA/jni) looks like low-hanging fruits that can easily be skipped in the shlibs. Note part of the problem is that these files includes a SONAME even though it is not a public ABI library. Excluding these libraries would have made the t64 transition simpler as they used the shlibs as basis for which packages had libraries with public ABIs, where the above mentioned paths were false positives. Best regards, Niels The bug #204975 is related on getting unnecessary triggers, where the proposal was to use an allow list of directories. Best regards, Niels
