Lintian tag: arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share
Type: information
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
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).
Please refer to Section 6.7.5 of the Debian Developer's Reference for
details.
