Package: lintian Version: 2.2.6~bpo50+1 Severity: normal Looks like debhelper no longer adds calls to installdocs.
This is from debhelper 7.2.3 changelog: * dh_installdocs: No longer add maintainer script code to call doc-base, as it supports triggers in stable. I've checked and yes - although there are no installdocs calls in packages generated by this debhelper version, doc-base triggers do the job of documents (un)registration. So likely postinst-does-not-call-installdocs and prerm-does-not-call-installdocs are now obsolete. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (640, 'stable'), (620, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.45-2 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.14.25 Debian package development tools ii file 4.26-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-4 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libdigest-sha-perl 5.47-1 Perl extension for SHA-1/224/256/3 ii libipc-run-perl 0.80-2 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchan 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.35.dfsg.1-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii man-db 2.5.2-4 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
