For a warning it doesn't matter much if we have a few false-positives. For the error conditions that I suggest for /build and $HOME I find it difficult to imagine false-positives except the case where a DD uses their own home directory as an example in help text, and that can't be a good practice anyway. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
