Subject: Package is empty (aside from man pages)

Date: Sun, 02 Oct 2016 02:07:04 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: debhelper
Version: 10.1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

My patch to add the dh-systemd transitional package was incomplete. It
missed that debhelper was only building a single binary package and is
now building two.
We either need to add a debhelper.install file now or, as dh-systemd is
actually supposed to be empty, set --destdir=debian/debhelper when
running dh_auto_install.

Attached is a patch for the latter.

Sorry for the mess.

Michael

Fixed in debhelper/10.2, which got rejected.  The first accepted upload
with this fix was debhelper/10.2.1.
