Currently you have to remove the empty directory yourself in debian/rules after running make install. It's one of the standard things that we do for Perl packages. It would be nice to fix ExtUtils::MakeMaker to not create it in the first place, but so far as I know, no one has written a patch. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
