Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0
Severity: normal
I've been converting libdbus/experimental to multiarch. It has nearly the
layout you'd expect, except that the shared library is in /lib:
libdbus-1-dev
/usr/lib/MULTIARCH/libdbus-1.a
/usr/lib/MULTIARCH/libdbus-1.so -> /lib/MULTIARCH/libdbus-1.so.3.6.1
libdbus-1-3
/lib/MULTIARCH/libdbus-1.so.3.6.1
/lib/MULTIARCH/libdbus-1.so.3 -> libdbus-1.so.3.6.1
It looks as though checks/files considers the .so symlink to be enough for
libdbus-1-dev to require a dependency on multiarch-support. However,
nothing should be using libdbus-1.so at runtime (the SONAME is libdbus-1.so.3),
so whether we've upgraded the dynamic linker before unpacking libdbus-1-dev
is irrelevant.
debhelper doesn't put multiarch-support in libdbus-1-dev's
${misc:Pre-Depends}, resulting in an auto-rejected Lintian error unless I
explicitly add multiarch-support to Pre-Depends.
Perhaps you could relax the check, so that only real files (not symlinks)
in a multiarch directory are considered to be a reason for needing
multiarch-support? (That would match what dh_makeshlibs does.)
