Subject: no copyright or changelog.Debian.gz in /usr/share/doc/vim-common/

Package: vim-common
Version: 1:6.3-010+1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5 and 12.7 (at least)

I was also a victim of bug #257359 (vim-common 1:6.3-010+1 breaks vim
1:6.2-532+4) and discovered that /usr/share/doc/vim-common/ is _empty_.

Debian policy:

  12.7 Changelog files

  Packages that are not Debian-native must contain a compressed copy of
  the debian/changelog file from the Debian source tree in
  /usr/share/doc/package with the name changelog.Debian.gz.

  12.5 Copyright information

  Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright
  and distribution license in the file /usr/share/doc/package/copyright.
  This file must neither be compressed nor be a symbolic link.

You should duplicate the files from /usr/share/doc/vim/.

I don't think a symlink (from /usr/share/doc/vim to
/usr/share/doc/vim-common) is a good since vim and vim-common may come
from different Debian package versions (as is the case in the bug
#257359). Unless you change vim-common dependency to an _exact_ vim
version (so that both packages have the same version number and can
share the same changelog file).

It's not empty... /usr/share/doc/vim-common/ is a symbolic link to
/usr/share/doc/vim/

  uhm, dpkg -c says so, but it is not in my system:

    $ file /usr/share/doc/vim-common
    /usr/share/doc/vim-common: directory

    $ dpkg -s vim-common | grep --dwim
    Package: vim-common
    Status: install ok installed

  of course, "rmdir doc/vim-common && dpkg -i vim-common" gets it right.

On my system it is a real directory and it is empty.
$ ls -dl /usr/share/doc/vim-common/

I checked in the .deb package and I have the symlink
./usr/share/doc/vim-common -> vim

But even after reinstallation of vim-common_1%3a6.3-010+1_all.deb I
still have the empty directory and not the symlink.

Maybe it is a bug/feature of dpkg that prevent replacing a directory by
a symlink.

But as I already said you should not use a symlink if vim and vim-common
do not have the _exact_ same version numbers.
