Hi all,

I maintain the debian directory in the upstream sources of a package
(gri) that uses auto-tools. So far, it seems to need the files:

debian/source/Makefile.am
debian/source/Makefile.in

in order for `make dist' to work.
But lintian complains about these files.

Anyone know how to make the auto-tools include the debian directory in
the source tar ball (with `make dist') but NOT maintain any Makefile in
those directories?

Thanks,
Peter

Something like

EXTRA_DIST = $(wildcard source/*)

in debian/Makefile.am should work.
