I think it's better to prune the files in that directory from the orig tarball, using a Files-Excluded header in d/copyright. The reason for this is that, even though the package does not currently contain the documentation, if it ever does, it's better to rebuild the docs from scratch using `--with sphinxdocs` than using the pre-build html.
I'm not sure my 4.1.1-2 upload with this change will be accepted or not. It doesn't look like 4.1.1-1 made it to the NEW queue, so I'm guessing it got rejected although I did not see a notification. If that's true, then the un-repacked 4.1.1 orig tarball isn't in the archive, and this new one can get uploaded. If it did, then it'll probably be rejected, in which case the next new upstream should get the proper tarball. In the meantime, I'm crossing my fingers and giving it a go. 4.1.1-2 will close this bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
