Can you please be specific about what (point of) debian policy are you referring to? The Developers Reference, on the contrary, advises to keep useless but DFSG-compliant files: A repackaged .orig.tar.{gz,bz2,xz} [ ] should, except where impossible for legal reasons, preserve the entire building and portablility infrastructure provided by the upstream author. For example, it is not a sufficient reason for omitting a file that it is used only when building on MS-DOS. Similarly, a Makefile provided by upstream should not be omitted even if the first thing your debian/rules does is to overwrite it by running a configure script. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#repackagedorigtargz Regards David _______________________________________________ Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
