Package: debhelper Version: 13.6 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dh_installman
Hi, I have a package, adduser, that is Debian native and therefore the manpages are installed directly from the doc directory: [212/5303]mh@fan:~/packages/adduser/adduser (master *% u+5) $ cat debian/manpages doc/adduser.8 doc/addgroup.8 doc/adduser.*.8 [213/5304]mh@fan:~/packages/adduser/adduser (master *% u+5) $ addgroup.8 contains a .so link: .so man8/adduser.8 This ends up in the package verbatim as an so link instead of being converted to a symlink as the docs suggest. In addition, I would love to have the respective symlinks to be also established for the respective translated manual pages, preferably without having to list every language in a debhelper config file (prone to be forgotten for new translation) and also without having to have a dedicated .so link file for every translation (will also be forgotten for new translations). Could that be possible in a future version, so cut down on length of my debian/links file and to reduce the possibility of forgotten symlinks? Greetings Marc
