Package: bmake
Version: 20200710-11
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

in the current default configuration of the Debian package, upstream
bmake files are used, but unlike installation of bmake from source,
symlinks from bsd.*.mk to *.mk are not present in the default mk-files
directory.

My use case is simple programs using bsd.prog.mk, which are meant to
succeed building with the same Makefile on different BSDs as well as
non-BSD systems with bmake, and those programs don't care much about
which brand of mk-files are used as long as the simple use case is
supported. Since the symlinks are not present, .include <bsd.prog.mk>
with 'bmake' fails.

Please ship the bsd.*.mk symlinks in /usr/share/bmake/mk-bmake.
