I'd simply override them. Duplicating those files is a waste of space and is unnecessary as long as roxterm(-legacy) depends on roxterm-common. And lintian itself says it's ok to override it: $ lintian-info --tags menu-icon-missing [...] N: If the icon is in a package this package depends on, add a lintian N: override for this warning. lintian cannot check icons in other N: packages. > Also, roxterm-common currently only Recommends: roxterm | roxterm-legacy. > But I think I should make that Depends, especially if I override that > last warning.

No, please avoid circular dependencies/dependency loops. roxterm(-legacy) should depend on roxterm-common, but not the other way around. - Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
