Hi,
I'm working on a package where I have a directory tree listed in the
'install' file with a destination directory. This source directory tree has
a few empty subdirectories in it. Somehow during the build process, these
empty subdirectories are disappearing. Does debhelper prune empty
subdirectories? If so, is there a way to avoid that?
What's strange is that this only seems to be happening in the main package.
I have a subpackage which does a similar operation, but it's empty
directories seem to be preserved.
I have narrowed it down - it seems to be dh_python2 that is removing the
empty directories. Perhaps I should take my question to debian-python.
