Bug#698627: ekiga-dbg: copyright file missing after upgrade (policy 12.5)

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: ekiga-dbg
Version: 3.2.7-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: fixed -1 3.2.7-5

Hi,

a test with piuparts revealed that your package misses the copyright
file after an upgrade from squeeze to wheezy, which is a violation of
Policy 12.5:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile

After the upgrade /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/ is just an empty directory.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  MISSING COPYRIGHT FILE: /usr/share/doc/ekiga-dbg/copyright
  # ls -lad /usr/share/doc/ekiga-dbg
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Jan 20 16:07 /usr/share/doc/ekiga-dbg
  # ls -la /usr/share/doc/ekiga-dbg/
  total 0
  drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   40 Jan 20 16:07 .
  drwxr-xr-x 279 root root 5780 Jan 20 16:07 ..

This was observed on an upgrade from lenny to squeeze, but seems to
be fixed on subsequent updates to wheezy, although I don't see
anything related in the changelog.

cheers,

Andreas
