# `maintainer-script-empty`

The named maintainer script does not appear to contain code other than comments or boilerplate such as `set -e`, `exit` statements, or a `case` statement to parse options.

While harmless in most cases, it is not needed. The package may also leave files behind until purged, and can contribute to rare problems when `dpkg` fails because no maintainer scripts are present.

Please do not ship the maintainer script unless it does something useful.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
