Package: debhelper
Version: 6.0.11
Severity: wishlist
Current behaviour of dh_lintian is somewhat dumb.
Instead of requiring a XXXX.lintian-overrides file per each binary package, it
would be nice to be able to have only one 'lintian-overrides' file and have a
smarter dh_lintian.
Let's say we have the php5 source package, which has several binary ones.
Instead of having four .lintian-overrides files it would be nice to just have
one with the following content (which is in the format required by lintian):
php5-common: non-standard-dir-perm var/lib/php5/ 1733 != 0755
php5-common: package-contains-empty-directory usr/lib/php5/libexec/
php5-cli binary: package-contains-empty-directory usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/
php5-cgi binary: package-contains-empty-directory usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/
libapache2-mod-php5 binary: package-contains-empty-directory
usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/
(last line word-wrapped by the email client, not intended)
In that case dh_lintian would see that the first two entries are for the
php5-common binary package, and put those in
debian/php5-common/usr/share/lintian/overrides/php5-common
The next line in
debian/php5-cli/usr/share/lintian/overrides/php5-cli
... and so on.
Kind regards,

As a matter of principle, debhelper has avoided trying to understand
files for other tools directly. If needed, this would need to happen
via a dependency that provides a tool to do the analysis which
dh_lintian would then call.
I am closing this bug to clean up the bug tracker a bit enabling me to
keep an overview of existing and actionable bugs.
Thanks,
~Niels
