[config-package-dev] lintian warning package-contains-empty-directory

[Geoffrey Thomas]

This is a known issue if you're using .hide, since the warning is about 
/usr/share/$package, the directory where hidden things go, not about 
/usr/share itself:

You can safely install a lintian override for it (or ignore it).
