[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:mlpack
Version: 2.2.5-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package in buster with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
but it failed:

	The following debhelper tools have reported what they installed (with files per package)
	 * dh_install: libmlpack-dev (4), libmlpack2 (2), mlpack-bin (2), mlpack-doc (28)
	If the missing files are installed by another tool, please file a bug against it.
	When filing the report, if the tool is not part of debhelper itself, please reference the
	"Logging helpers and dh_missing" section from the "PROGRAMMING" guide for debhelper (10.6.3+).
	  (in the debhelper package: /usr/share/doc/debhelper/PROGRAMMING.gz)
	Be sure to test with dpkg-buildpackage -A/-B as the results may vary when only a subset is built
	For a short-term work-around: Add the files to debian/not-installed

for f in $(find debian/mlpack-doc -name jquery.js); do \

Hint: Try splitting override_dh_install into override_dh_install-arch
and override_dh_install-indep.

Thanks.
