mstflint stop working 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu3_amd64.deb

[Talat Batheesh]

[SRU justification]
Current package only contains documentation files. All the rest is missing
[Impact]

[Fix]
Adding ./debian/mstflint.install to install pkg specific files following move to multi-binary package
Adding an override_dh_installman statement to force installation to man1 section (wrong guess by dh_installman).

[Test Case]
$ apt-get install mstflint
$ which mstflint

Without the fix, the command returns nothing. With the new package, the command returns :
/usr/bin/mstflint

Content of the bad package only has :

# dpkg -L mstflint
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/mstflint
/usr/share/doc/mstflint/copyright
/usr/share/doc/mstflint/README.gz
/usr/share/doc/mstflint/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/mstflint/hca_self_test.readme

[Regression]
None, current package contains only text files. New package brings back previous content as of 4.1.0+1.46.gb1cdaf7-1ubuntu1

I haven't yet looked at the Debian packaging for this program, but there must be a problem there. Does anyone on your team have deep experience with Debian packaging?

[Louis Bouchard (louis)]

Brian, I have merged mstflint & changed things on the Xenial version so we could migrate from a new mstflint4 in Trusty.

I will do my best to look at it tomorrow
