I have added a patch which simply omits the Distutils handling of the ‘coverage/htmlfiles’ directory entirely. Then I added some configuration for the Debian package (rules, debhelper files) to install those resources to the correct location, and a symlink in the Python package to get to the correct location. This allows me to remove the Lintian overrides and close the bug report. Please have another look. I am especially interested to know whether the resulting package works for you, can you try making an HTML report and using it? -- \ “Look at it this way: Think of how stupid the average person | `\ is, and then realise half of 'em are stupider than that.” | _o__) —George Carlin, _Doin' It Again_, 1990 | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
