debian-rules-contains-unnecessary-get-orig-source-target
This package's debian/rules file contains a
get-orig-source target that appears to be unnecessary. For
example, the package might simply contain a single call to uscan(1).
Such calls are not ideal; maintainers should be able to call uscan with their own choice of options and they additionally encourage the proliferation of boilerplate code across the archive.
Since Debian Policy 4.1.4, packages are encouraged to migrate to uscan
and a Files-Excluded header in the debian/copyright
file.
For more information please consult:
- the uscan(1) manual page
