Hi,

70-persistent-ipoib.rules is installed in /etc/udev/rules.d on Debian. lintian complains about it:

E: udev-rule-in-etc
N:
N:   This package ships a udev rule and installs it under
N:   /etc/udev/rules.d, which is reserved for user-installed files. The N:   correct directory for system rules is /lib/udev/rules.d. N:
N:   Refer to https://bugs.debian.org/559208 for details.
N:
N:   Severity: important, Certainty: certain
N:
N:   Check: files, Type: binary, udeb
N:

Since 70-persistent-ipoib.rules is just a commented example, should we better put it into /usr/share/doc/rdma-core instead (where udev.md is placed)?

That would be fine for me, but I think /etc/ is appropriate in this case and the lintian rule is just overzealous.

I agree with Jason on this. I think lintian should possibly be fixed instead ;-)
