Package: nova-compute-xen
Version: 2012.1.1-18
Severity: serious
User: [email protected]
Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
a test with piuparts revealed that your package uses files from
/usr/share/doc in its maintainer scripts which is a violation of
Policy 12.3: "Packages must not require the existence of any files in
/usr/share/doc/ in order to function."
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.3
These files must be moved to /usr/share/$PACKAGE and may be symlinked
from /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE.
This piuparts test prevents the installation of (most) files into
/usr/share/doc with 'dpkg --path-exclude=...'.

Since the Sid package has been fixed a long time ago, and that this bug
is tagged "wheezy-ignore" (as this is the view of the release team, it
seems), I'm closing it (to clean the bug tracker and see more clear in
what needs to be fixed).
