Source: debian-policy
Version: 4.3.0.2
Severity: normal

The policy says in section § 9.1.2. "Site-specific programs":

> Packages must not create sub-directories in the directory /usr/local
> itself, except those listed in FHS, section 4.5. However, you may
> create directories below them as you wish. You must not remove any of
> the directories listed in 4.5, even if you created them.

FHS 3.0's section 4.5 is about a completely irrelevant /usr/include
directory, not about /usr/local. I think this should point to section
4.9 in the FHS?

In FHS 2.3, this "section 4.5" might have been right. But as said in
policy 9.1.1:

> The location of all files and directories must comply with the Filesystem
> Hierarchy Standard (FHS), version 3.0, [...].

No other exception is noted below that.

This was closed in 4.4.0.0 but the bug closer was missing from
debian/changelog.  I've added it now for the historical record.
