tags 486682 + wontfix thanks Hi,
I think this may have been useful in the past, but debhelper compat 5+ largely makes it redundant[1]. Since compat level 4 and lower are all deprecated this problem is (in theory) non-existing. Admittedly, in practise[2] people are a bit slow in adopting the new compat levels, but a new tag most likely not give us a lot of improvement (if they don't listen to Lintian about bumping compat levels, why should they listen to it about some "SONAME wildcard" issue?). Anyhow, I am tagging it wontfix for now. If anyone is actually interested in implementing this or strongly feel we should implement it, feel free to contest the "wontfix"-tag. ~Niels [1] man 7 debhelper: """ These are the available compatibility levels: [...] v5 Changes from v4 are: [...] - dh_install errors out if wildcards expand to nothing.
