Bug#947264: lintian: overly generic file name: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/examples/README.txt

[Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.42.0
Severity: normal

Hi,

please add /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/examples/README.txt (and
possible variants thereof, in case lintian uses some wildcards for this
check) to the list of overly generic file names.

This is currently shipped by
python3-geopandas (0.6.2-1) and python3-lmfit (1.0.0-1) in sid.

Looking at python3-geopandas/sid,
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/examples/[^/]* should be disallowed
(but /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/examples/.*/[^/]* should be OK).


Andreas
