[debhelper-devel] Bug#894549: debhelper: dh_usrlocal may remove a direct subdirectory of /usr/local

[Nicolas Boulenguez]

Package: debhelper
Version: 11.1.6
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hello.

The attached script shows that dh_usrlocal generates a prerm script
removing a direct subdirectory of /usr/local.
As I understand the policy, it should not.

The fix is included.
It also suggests some minor related changes, which do not seem to change the behaviour.
