Hi Marco (Please note I'm not the maintainer of this package but stumpled about this bugreport going trough the lists of RC bugs).
Hmm, regarding that: debian/rules uses debhelper and passes --link-doc
to dh_installdocs. Thus a symlink is created to the libklibc binary
package, which contains the changelogs, etc ...
According to man dh_installdocs:
--link-doc=package
Make the documentation directory of all packages acted on be
a symlink to the documentation directory of package. This has
no effect when acting on package itself, or if the
documentation directory to be created already exists when
dh_installdocs is run. To comply with policy, package must be
a binary package that comes from the same source package.
debhelper will try to avoid installing files into linked
documentation directories that would cause conflicts with the
linked package. The -A option will have no effect on packages
with linked documentation directories, and copyright,
changelog, README.Debian, and TODO files will not be
installed.
(An older method to accomplish the same thing, which is still
supported, is to make the documentation directory of a
package be a dangling symlink, before calling
dh_installdocs.)
The binary package depends on Depends: libklibc (= ${binary:Version}),
${misc:Depends}, so the binary:Version of libklibc.
So this should be policy compliant, what do you think about it, is
this fine?
