Package: xmame-sdl,xmess-sdl
Version: 0.146-2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: affects -1 + xmame-common xmess-common

A test with piuparts revealed that package $package misses the copyright
file after an upgrade from squeeze to wheezy, which is a violation of
Policy 12.5 :
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile

After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$package/ is just an empty directory.

Additional info may be available here:
http://wiki.debian.org/MissingCopyrightFile

There is something bad going on with the symlink to directory conversion
that is needed if the xmame-common or xmess-common package was installed.

>From the attached logfile (scroll to the bottom):

1m2.1s INFO: dirname part contains a symlink:
