[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#533029: Please install README.Debian in sbuild package, not libsbuild-perl

[Daniel Moerner]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.58.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi, README.Debian currently ships with libsbuild-perl because the sbuild 
source package builds multiple binaries, thus, since README.Debian is not
prepended by a packagename it is installed in the first binary package in
the control file. I believe this is incorrect, README.Debian should ship
in the sbuild package because it is explicitly mentioned in man 1 sbuild.

~/Work/local $ for i in *.deb; do dpkg -c $i | grep README.Debian; done
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1527 2009-05-17 13:47 ./usr/share/doc/libsbuild-perl/README.Debian

So a simple:

mv debian/README.Debian debian/sbuild.README.Debian

would fix this.

Regards,
Daniel
