Bug#632620: relies on <package>/usr/share/doc

[Rene Engelhard]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.36.1
Severity: serious
iJustification: policy 12.3

Hi.

>From https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libreoffice&arch=armel&ver=1%3A3.3.3-4&stamp=1309760289:

[...]
jh_depends -a -Xlibreoffice-gcj -Xure
find: `/build/buildd-libreoffice_3.3.3-4-armel-Mz0jMT/libreoffice-3.3.3/debian/libreoffice-base-core/usr/share/doc': No such file or directory
make: *** [debian/stampdir/binary-arch] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2

Why does javahelper look in /usr/share/doc/? And why does it fail
if it doesn't exist because it's just not built? (see my other bug).

Policy 12.3 (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html):

"12.3 Additional documentation

Any additional documentation that comes with the package may be installed at the discretion of the package maintainer. Plain text documentation should be installed in the directory /usr/share/doc/package, where package is the name of the package, and compressed with gzip -9 unless it is small.
[...]
Packages must not require the existence of any files in /usr/share/doc/ in order to function [105]. Any files that are referenced by programs but are also useful as stand alone documentation should be installed under /usr/share/package/ with symbolic links from /usr/share/doc/package. "
[...]
"

Regards,

Rene
