[Bug 671199] Re: liblockdev1-dbg uninstallable due to namesake file in liblockdev1 package

[Colin Watson]

Fixed in Ubuntu 10.10 and newer by way of this Debian change:

lockdev (1.0.3-1.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * Don't install copyright in both liblockdev1 and liblockdev1-dbg as
    they share the same folde rin /usr/share/doc via symlink (Closes:
    #563600)
  * Use binary:Version instead of Source-Version
