I'm very glad to learn that this feature seems supported by apt and dpkg now. I did not know. >> It is wrong > > Not really, but the lack of support in (soon to be old)stable makes it > annoying.

So a bug should probably be filled against the policy (and then against lintian to remove or fix the current check). >> This bug is present for one week. Can you correct it quickly?

I do not have enough time today. If nobody does it before, I will try to do it in a few days (and also opening bugs against policy and lintian) Regards, Vincent > Regards > > David > -- Vincent Danjean GPG key ID 0xD17897FA vdanj...@debian.org GPG key fingerprint: 621E 3509 654D D77C 43F5 CA4A F6AE F2AF D178 97FA Unofficial pkgs: http://moais.imag.fr/membres/vincent.danjean/deb.html APT repo: deb http://people.debian.org/~vdanjean/debian unstable main -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
