Bug#507273: lintian: please skip __init__.py from zero-byte-file-in-doc-directory check

2008-11-29 Thread Sandro Tosi 
Package: lintian
Version: 2.0.0
Severity: minor

Hello,
__init__.py could be zero-sized, just to mark a directory as a python module,
and sometimes such dir are installed in doc/ of the package, so please skip that
file from the zero-byte-file-in-doc-directory check.

Thanks in advance (and for your huge work),
Sandro

We already skip zero-byte-file-in-doc-directory if the file is under
examples/.

But yeah, looking at the tag page, __init__.py and html/*.map
might be good candidates for overriding it even outside of that.

Gruesse,
