[debhelper-devel] Bug#865869: debhelper: Don't run dh_installdocs if nodoc is specified in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS

[Chris Lamb]

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.2.5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I just added the following to the python-django packaging's debian/rules
file:

    ifneq (,$(filter nodoc,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
    override_dh_installdocs:
    endif

Wouldn't it make more sense for debhelper to do this by default? I see that
debhelper does not really touch the build profiles at all, so this might be
entirely deliberate.


Regards,
