Package: freeciv
Version: 3.0.3-1
Severity: normal
Currently we ship symlinks from usr/share/doc/<package> -> usr/share/doc/freeciv-data
<package> are our binary packages. all of them except freeciv are arch:any.
freeciv-data is arch:all.
If I'm reading that correctly this is a policy violation of §12.3 (+ footnote 7).
Also dh_installdocs say for --link-doc:
CAVEAT 2: The use of --link-doc should only be done when the packages
have same "architecture" type. A link from an architecture independent package
to an architecture dependent package (or vice versa) will not work. Since
compat 10, debhelper will actively reject unsupported combinations.
Changing that is a bit of effort, so I'm just reporting that and will defer
that to an later upload.
