Debian policy

[darealshinji]

I get the following warning when I build a package:
E: notepadqq: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share usr/share/notepadqq/notepadqq
W: notepadqq: embedded-javascript-library usr/share/notepadqq/editor/libs/jquery/jquery.min.js

arch-dependent files should never be installed in /usr/share. It should be installed to /usr/lib or /usr/bin.
And jquery.min.js should be replaced with a symbolic link and the package libjs-jquery should be added as a dependency.

I understand the Debian policy for packages, the problem is that the jquery version in Ubuntu's repository is very old (1.7.2 on Trusty, while notepadqq is using 2.1.1). Debian is in the same situation.

I think the best solution is to ship our jquery.min.js.
That line is a warning: could it be (ugh) ignored?

[darealshinji]

Yes, sounds reasonable. And you're right, a warning isn't as bad as an error. In this case I recommend to override the warning including a commentary line.
debian/lintian-overrides:

# jquery in the repositories is outdated
notepadqq binary: embedded-javascript-library usr/share/notepadqq/editor/libs/jquery/jquery.min.js
