Package: dh-linktree Version: 0.2 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if one were able to use dh_linktree to link paths within a source package and not only to external installed packages. Kind of what dh_python2 does for python packages (symlinks the usr/shared/pyshared/<package> tree into /usr/lib/python2.*/dist-packages/<package>)
The use of dpkg --search appears to make that impossible. E.g. a situation I wanted to use dh_linktree in (though I found a better way in the mean time) package1 expects data in /path1 package2 expects same data in /path2 a package3 could provide the data in /path3 and use dh_linktree to let package1 and 2 exist unpatched by symlinking path3 into path1 and path2. This avoids upgrade failures which the naive solution of just symlinking the whole folder can ensue.
