[Pkg-emboss-devel] Bug#423941: Documentation installation violates Debian policy (12.3)

[Daniel Leidert]

Package: emboss-doc
Version: 4.1.0-1
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The current documentation installation violates the Debian policy. You
install the documentation into /usr/share/EMBOSS, which implies, that
files therein are referenced from other files in emboss, emboss-lib or
emboss-data. But then there is no symlink in /usr/share/doc/emboss(-doc)
following the policy. If the files in this directory are not referenced,
then the installation location itself violates the policy.

PS: You should further think about registering the docs with doc-base
(maybe with different doc-base files per theme).

Regards, Daniel
