Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10
Severity: normal
I noticed when trying to do some packaging, that if, in an old style
debhelper script, if I don't call either dh_installchangelogs or
dh_installdocs, in which case (for my package) /usr/share/doc is
completely absent, then lintian does not give the
"debian-changelog-file-missing" error at all. It does produce the
"no-copyright-file" error though.
I think it should not be difficult to reproduce this, but I can give
more details if necessary.
