I uploaded a new package to Mentors (also updated the source tarball). I think I fixed all issues/suggestions.

Now, if the "./doc" folder doesn't exist, it opens the folder where "make install" installs the manuals to (if it exists). So, debian/links and the patch were removed, and this issue is solved. (Should have done this earlier) > Ok! > > You can remove the d/docs files because upstream changelog will be > automaticaly detected by DebHelper. That's interesting. I compiled the package in Ubuntu, and the upstream changelog was not detected automatically. It seems dh_installchangelogs was changed in Ubuntu to not install the upstream changelog: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debhelper/+bug/637176 I still removed the debian/docs file. Please check if the upstream changelog is detected in Debian. I didn't have the time to test this in Debian yet. -- Bruno Nova
