Hello Raphael. I'm not sure what do you mean by quoting this lintian warning:
> E: base-files: symlink-should-be-absolute etc/os-release ../usr/lib/os-release If you mean "Had you been using debhelper, you would not have made this trivial mistake" (so to speak), then please see Bug#755394 and the changelog for version 7.5. May I ask, then, that you remove this symlink thing from the "list of things base-files does wrong because the package does not use debhelper"? If I switch to debhelper, would I have to fight it so that it does not "fix" things like this? I know this was not the intent of your email, but you are actually giving me reasons not to switch to debhelper rather than reasons to switch. Anyway, let me think about base-files and debhelper this weekend. Thanks.
