package: blends-dev version: 0.6.16.2 affects: debian-edu Hi,
blends-dev creates boilerplate maintainer scripts, which then lead to lintian warnings for the packages using blends-dev, ie debian-edu 1.707 has the following lintian warnings: debian-edu changes binary: bad-distribution-in-changes-file wheezy-test debian-edu source binary: unknown-field-in-dsc comment education-thin-client binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-thin-client binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-standalone binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-standalone binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-desktop-gnome binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-desktop-gnome binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-networked binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-networked binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-development binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-development binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-thin-client-server binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-thin-client-server binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-mathematics binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-mathematics binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-main-server binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-main-server binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-graphics binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-graphics binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-desktop-kde binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-desktop-kde binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-misc binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-misc binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-common binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-common binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-physics binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-physics binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-laptop binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-laptop binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-astronomy binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-astronomy binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-language binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-language binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-chemistry binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-chemistry binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-desktop-lxde binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-desktop-lxde binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-electronics binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-electronics binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-workstation binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-workstation binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-services binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-services binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-desktop-sugar binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-desktop-sugar binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-logic-games binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-logic-games binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-desktop-other binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-desktop-other binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-music binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-music binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst education-geography binary: maintainer-script-empty postrm education-geography binary: maintainer-script-empty preinst 2 tags overridden (2 errors) the "empty" maintainers scripts look like this: $ cat education-workstation.postrm #!/bin/sh set -e # This is the default postinst file from the blends-dev package which is used # in all meta packages.
