Package: debhelper Version: 7.4.3 Severity: normal Hi!
When using custom substitution variables, dh_gencontrol complains about when they are unused - for every single binary package. This might be a proper and helpful message for single-binary packages, but in areas where there are multiple binary packages this is getting a bit annoying with respect to that one would have to use every single substitution in all of the binaries just to get rid of the message. #v+ dh_gencontrol -- -Vwesnoth:Stable-Version=1:1.7.8 -Vwesnoth:Next-Version=1:1.7.8.~ dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Stable-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Next-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Stable-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Next-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Stable-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Next-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Stable-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Next-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Stable-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Next-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Stable-Version} dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unused substitution variable ${wesnoth:Next-Version} dh_md5sums #v- So long. :) Rhonda -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.20-4 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dpkg-dev 1.15.4.1 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-14 advanced HTML to text converter ii man-db 2.5.6-4 on-line manual pager ii perl 5.10.1-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-base 5.10.1-7 minimal Perl system ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t debhelper recommends no packages.
