It seems to me that the attached patch symlinks /usr/share/xmail/sample to /usr/share/doc/xmail/sample (while it should do the contrary, right?) and does not move /usr/share/doc/xmail/sample to /usr/share/xmail/sample. Vasudev, did you actually test it with 'dpkg --path-exclude=...'? Also, although a minor issue, unrelated whitespace changes are generally not well suited for a NMU. To end with, I see that xmail is a leaf package, its popcon has been rapidly decreasing since 2011, there are a number of bugs with no reply from the maintainer for years, and the last maintainer upload was in June, 2010. So perhaps this package would be a candidate for removal from Debian? Radu, are you still interested in maintaining xmail in Debian?
