Package: g++-mingw-w64,gfortran-mingw-w64,gobjc-mingw-w64,gobjc++-mingw-w64
Version: 5.1.1-9+16~exp1
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org

Hi,
a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright
file after an upgrade, which is a violation of Policy 12.5:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile
After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory.
This was observed on the following upgrade paths:
sid -> experimental
in each of the 4 packages
g++-mingw-w64 gfortran-mingw-w64 gobjc-mingw-w64 gobjc++-mingw-w64

Additional info may be available here:
https://wiki.debian.org/MissingCopyrightFile
Note that dpkg intentionally does not replace directories with symlinks
and vice versa, you need the maintainer scripts to do this.
See in particular the end of point 4 in
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-unpackphase
It is recommended to use the dpkg-maintscript-helper commands
'dir_to_symlink' and 'symlink_to_dir' (available since dpkg 1.17.14)
to perform the conversion, ideally using d/$PACKAGE.mainstscript.
Do not forget to add 'Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}' in d/control.
See dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) and dh_installdeb(1) for details.
cheers,
Andreas

Thanks for filing this, I forgot to mention in the changelog for version 16
that this is fixed (using symlink_to_dir).
