Bug#1053855: false positive for Python top_level.txt files: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc
Package: lintian
Version: 2.116.3
Severity: normal
Just building a Python package with this version, and I receive the
info tag:
I: python3-bytecode: package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc [usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bytecode-0.15.0.dist-info/top_level.txt]
I think (almost) every Python package has a top_level.txt file that is
automatically built, naming the top-level Python package, so this file
should be excluded from this test. (The file always lives in a
*.dist-info or *.egg-info directory.)
Best wishes,
Julian
