Check-Script: huge-usr-share Author: Jeroen van Wolffelaar Abbrev: hus Type: binary Needs-info: index Info: This script checks whether an architecture-dependent package has large amounts of data in /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 (over 4MB, or over 2MB and more than 50% of the package) in /usr/share but is an architecture-dependent package. This is wasteful of mirror space and bandwidth since it means distributing multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture. . If the data in /usr/share is not architecture-independent, this is a Policy violation that should be fixed by moving the data elsewhere (usually /usr/lib). Ref: devref 6.7.5
