[Build-common-hackers] Bug#525204: File excluded using DEB_DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE figures in md5sum list

[Artur R. Czechowski]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.56
Severity: important

Hello,
I am trying to build pear package for php-versioncontrol-svn. Package
has been created using dh-make-pear. The result is lintian error message
saying:

W: php-versioncontrol-svn: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/php-versioncontrol-svn/docs/LICENSE

I decided to remove the file using following line in debian/rules:
DEB_DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=usr/share/doc/php-versioncontrol-svn/docs/LICENSE

After building package lintian is unhappy because:
E: php-versioncontrol-svn: md5sums-lists-nonexisting-file usr/share/doc/php-versioncontrol-svn/docs/LICENSE

If you wish to see the package please look at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-versioncontrol-svn

Regards
	Artur
