I don't understand - it contains the debug symbols generated by dh_strip, just as with any other package that generates -dbg packages. I don't do anything differently with this package than I do with any other -dbg package - I call dh_strip with the --dbg-package argument. (Actually, CDBS does this for me when I create a -dbg package in debian/control.) What is the problem? The description or the contents? If it's the contents, I'll have to reassign to debhelper. AFAICT, most -dbg packages claim to contain "the debugging symbols" for foo and then use dh_strip --dbg-package to put the contents into that package. What is different about libqof1-dbg ? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
