We run "make distcheck" as part of what is done when releasing xenomai,
so, the sort of error you mention should not exist. In particular, since
we use the autotools, these things are being taken care of automatically.
The problem is that we use to have files in the /usr/share/xenomai
directory, the debian files were written with this assumption, we now no
longer install any file in /usr/share/xenomai, and we did not change the
debian files, simply because nobody tested the debian package
generation, or more accurately someone did but forgot to report the bug.
