But how about the doc-debian package? That one now installs :
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-log-access.txt
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-*.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt.gz /usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.*txt.gz /usr/share/doc/debian/debian-manifesto.gz /usr/share/doc/debian/mailing-lists.txt.gz /usr/share/doc/debian/social-contract.*txt.gz /usr/share/doc/debian/source-unpack.txt
If those documents get moved, we can get rid of /usr/share/doc/debian/
.
However, I myself am not quite sure if moving these documents is the
right
thing to do. Opinions?
No-one replied, so here is my opinion as a user
- packages should put their docs in /usr/share/doc/<package>
very few people will expect to look in /usr/share/doc/debian
unlesss they installed a 'debian' package
- some of those documents look old/out of date
- who is the intended user of versions of files
older than the current one? these should be on the website
or mail-archive.com only
- not sure the ones starting 'bug-' are useful - why so many and
isnt the same info in 'man bts'?
- source-unpack.txt doesnt seem to belong with the others, and
shouldnt it be merged with the man-page of dpkg-source?
