[Pkg-tcltk-devel] source-is-missing

[Stefan Sobernig]

Hi everyone!

It has been a while, I hope that this Email finds you all being up and 
well !

I smoke-tested making a Debian package from an NSF release candidate. In 
the process, I noticed source-is-missing errors (!) reported for the 
source package:

https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=nsf

Well, these markup documents are part of the release tarball, they are 
generated content (generated mostly from tcllib's doctools markup, 
before the tarball is), also present in the tarball, e.g.:

doc/Class.man -> doc/Class.html

So, there is a source, but not detected by lintian?

Overriding (missing-source/) does not feel right, as the source is not 
missing.

So?

Any guidance is appreciated,
    Stefan

P.S.: I also failed in understand what kind of source lintian would 
expect for an HTML ?
