[Bug 1874275] Re: focal package doesn't contain executables, only manpages

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Mathew, why did you delete the debhelper component? It's still buggy
when using disutils, it's deprecated but still supported and shouldn't
generate empty debs as it did

** Also affects: debhelper (Ubuntu)

Title:
  focal package doesn't contain executables, only manpages

Status in debhelper package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in mailnag package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mailnag source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  the package has currently no useful content

  * Test case
  install mailnag, check that the binary is there and working

  * Regression potential
  the deb was empty from useful content so it shouldn't regress

  --------------------------

  After updating from 19.10 to 20.04 mailnag doesn't start, the package
  was installed but no executables were found.

  Checking the content of the packages shows not content other than
  manpages.

  Ubuntu packages file list confirm it
