unwanted /build directory included in package

[Andrew Schulman]

Binary package hint: php-mail

php-mail 1.1.14-1+lenny1build0.9.10.1 in karmic includes a /build directory, at the root of the filesystem:

$ dpkg -L php-mail | grep /build
/build
/build/buildd
/build/buildd/php5-5.2.10.dfsg.1
/build/buildd/php5-5.2.10.dfsg.1/pear-build-download

This only contains some empty directories, and doesn't seem as though it belongs in the package.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Just for the record, this is specific to the Ubuntu build. The Debian build doesn't have this directory.

This problem persists in version 1.1.14-2 in lucid.

[Ivan Borzenkov (ivan1986)]

bug exists in 1.2.0-2

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

As of xenial, with version 1.3.0-1:

$ dpkg -L php-mail | grep /build
$

Looks like the problem has been resolved. I didn't see a specific mention of this in the changelog, but 1.2.0-3's changelog entry mentions several cleanups so may have been fixed there.
