Severity: info
Check: debian/rules
Explanation: 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.
