musescore for Debian
********************

  usr/share/mscore is versioned (ie usr/share/mscore-0.7), as upstream 
  said he wants to make it possible for other users, not necessarily 
  ours, to install more than one version concurrently for testing. Some 
  files there are version specific, so he versions /usr/share/mscore.

  debian/rules does not employ dh_install to install the update-notifier 
  file, as it is not known at build time what version of 
  usr/share/mscore is being used. The installation of this file waits 
  for the directory to be created in musescore-common (by dh_install), and 
  a symlink to reference it. The update-notifier file is installed to that
  symlinked directory, but a means other than dh_install must be used, 
  as dh_install has already been called, and it does not support 
  multiple calls. This means that on upgrading the packaging for a 
  new release does not necessarily involve changing version numbers in 
  debian/rules.
  
  To comply with DFSG, various non-free files are removed when the orig
  tarball is created (see debian/rules for specifics). To ensure that the
  PDF manuals are generated from freely available sources, the shipped PDFs
  are also removed and, using the ProcessHTML.py script, recreated from the
  online HTML originals. See debian/rules for specifics.
