Bug#654321: rhythmbox: what about development-reference symlink?

[Patrice Duroux]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.90.1~git20120101.c0486b0-1
Severity: normal


Dear Rhythmboxer,

Regarding what is provided in /usr/share/doc/rhythmbox, it seems that
there is the bad following symlink:
development-reference -> ../../gtk-doc/html/rhythmbox
Is the target a directory found in rhythmbox-dev?

Also, knowing that it is a difficult point, how the content of its files
(mainly changelog.gz, NEWS.gz, TODO.Debian, NEWS.Debian.gz) is relevant? How is
this handle in the Debian way? by the policy? Are they most of them abandon-
files
with a long-term replacement by information elsewhere, wiki, PTS, even links on
the source homepage?
Is lintian able to check anything (file date, Debian release to which it
applies, ...) about those?
Ok, this is a general remark that concerns some other packages too.
Nevertheless, always a great job!

Kindly,
Patrice.
