[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#893577: sbuild-debian-developer-setup: Should not rely on files in /usr/share/doc

[Stuart Prescott]

Package: sbuild-debian-developer-setup
Version: 0.74.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.3 Packages must not require the existence of any files in /usr/share/doc/ in order to function.

Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for adding sbuild-debian-developer-setup - it indeed looks like a good
way of a new user getting started with sbuild.

At the end of the script, it runs

    symlink("/usr/share/doc/sbuild/examples/sbuild-update-all", "/etc/cron.daily/sbuild-debian-developer-setup-update-all");

which requires the file in /usr/share/doc to be present. Policy 12.3 says that
packages can't do that and says that such files should be in /usr/share/package
with a symlink into /usr/share/doc/package/ as appropriate.

regards
Stuart
