Package: debhelper Version: 7.2.6 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/dh_installchangelogs
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Joey, just an idea that occured to me: In a few cases (most likely libraries), one or binary packages of a source package depend on a special binary package with a strict (=...) version: $ apt-cache show zlib1g-dev|grep Depends Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13), libc6-dev | libc-dev In these cases, policy would allow to make the changelog, the Debian changelog and the copyright file in /usr/share/doc/zlib1g-dev/ only symlinks to their counterpart in /usr/share/doc/zlib1g. If done automatically in debhelper, this might save some space on our mirrors. Not much, but still a bit.
