[Pkg-bareos-devel] Comments regarding bareos_14.2.1+20140930git1339225-1_amd64.changes

[Joerg Jaspert]

Hi Maintainer,

I'm not sure I like what I see, but as I haven't taken hours to dig
through in detail, maybe you can answer it:

Lintian on the source gives:

W: bareos source: debian-control-file-is-a-symlink
W: bareos source: diff-contains-substvars debian/univention-bareos.substvars
W: bareos source: package-file-is-executable debian/copyright
W: bareos source: space-in-std-shortname-in-dep5-copyright other exceptions (paragraph at line 15)
W: bareos source: bad-exception-format-in-dep5-copyright agpl-3.0 with bacula (paragraph at line 15)
W: bareos source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.5 (current is 3.9.6)

While the other W could be fixed too, the first one is a nice trigger
to look deeper. And really, its a symlink, thats a first ever...

And then it goes to control.dummy (oh yuck) and that has a header that
makes it a NO-GO for the archive.

In short, debian/control is NOT TO BE TOUCHED during build. Ever. At
all.

So, this is either a plain reject, or you can show me that
debian/control is NOT touched during builds. A quick look tends to get
a reject. :/ (I would love if this ends in Debian and also Backports
(to wheezy), but not this thing).
