Hi,
It would be nice if debhlper could have override_*-common target
for stuff that is needed by both override_*-arch and override_*-indep
(or alternatively it could run override_* even if override_*-arch/indep
exist).
A comment in /usr/bin/dh says that `mixing it [i.e.non-arch-specific
override] with arch-specific overrides makes little sense', but in fact
such a mix does have sense for at least two of my packages:
- ispell that needs ./ispell binary, created by build-arch, in order to
generate arch-indep dictionary packages.
- afterstep that generally puts the documentation it generates into
arch-indep afterstep-data, with an exception of a few files (with
API documentation) that are installed in arch-dep libafterimage-dev.
Regards,
robert
