+Tag: empty-udeb-package
+Severity: info
+Check: files/empty-package
+Experimental: yes
+Explanation: This udeb package appears to be empty, and its description does
+ not say that it's a metapackage or a package. This is often due to
+ problems with updating debhelper *.install files during package
+ renames or similar problems where installation rules don't put files
+ in the correct place.
+ .
+ If the package is deliberately empty, you can avoid this tag by
+ using one of the following phrases "metapackage", "dummy", "dependency
+ package", or "empty package" in the long description of the udeb.
