Check-Script: huge-usr-share Author: Jeroen van Wolffelaar Abbrev: hus Type: binary Unpack-Level: 2 Info: This script checks whether an architecture-dependent package doesn't have a significantly big /usr/share Tag: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share Severity: wishlist Certainty: certain Info: The package has a significant amount of architecture-independent data in /usr/share, while it is an architecture-dependent package. This is wasteful of mirror space and bandwidth, as we then end up with multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture. . If the data in /usr/share is not architecture-independent, it is a policy violation, and in this case, you should move that data elsewhere. Ref: devref 6.7.5
