Not sure what you mean by "covered", but to me it's because the next paragarph overrides this one. > > > Files: * > > > License: GPL-3 > > > > > > Files: file-does-not-exist > > > License: GPL-3 > > > > This one should trigger the new tag I'm proposing. > > OTOH I think unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright is also emitted for > > this one, so it should stop emitting > > unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright and move to > > inexistent-file-in-dep5-copyright instead. > > I hate name arguments (!) but I think it's partly the names that are > making this harder than it "should" to understand. How about (at least > for now) "entry-does-not-match-any-files-in-package" for this last one > and (again, just for this discussion) "entry-covered-by-another-entry". Not sure where you are heading here… As I suspect you know (☺) I'm not interested in naming things. To make it simple: this last paragraph should eming **only one tag** saying the file doesn't match any file from the source package. > Terrible names, I know, but just to make the clarifications easier! "entry-coverd-by-another-entry" is probably wrong on many level, starting by anything else after the 'Files: *', as they would all "duplicate" a file already covered by the * !! ;) -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
