For the sake of completeness, posting the following here, so as to
demonstrate how many points of the Policy the opencity package violates.

There are explanations actually. Let's see:

| AUTHORS -- doesn't ship, must be in $(DOCDIR)
Must? What about the copyright file?

| ChangeLog -- OK
| COPYING, COPYRIGHT, INSTALL -- don't ship, that's OK
| NEWS -- empty file, doesn't ship, that's OK
You say they are OK.

| OpenCity.desktop -- double-installed in /usr/share/applications
|     (correct) and $(DATADIR) (redundant)
Bug, OK. What violation is that?

| OpenCity.png -- double-installed in /usr/share/pixmaps (correct) and
|     $(DATADIR) (redundant)
Maybe a bug, OK. What violation is that?

| README, TODO -- don't ship, must be in $(DOCDIR)
See Policy 12.3 again. What violation is that?

| autopackage/ -- ships in $(DATADIR), no reason to ship at all
Maybe a bug, OK. What violation is that?

| config/* -- ship in $(DATADIR)/config; must be in $(CONFDIR)
Not if it is not meant to be modified by the local admin. That
configuration files, although in a directory called “config” can be
static data. What violation is that, then?

| docs/* -- ship in $(DATADIR)/docs; must be in $(DOCDIR)
Policy 12.3 againt, must != should.

| graphism/, model/, sound/, texture/ -- correctly ship in $(DADADIR)
You say they are OK.


How many policy violations remain?
