Thanks for the feedback. I'll add the DEP-3 headers and remove the redundant sections fields. I am unsure what to do about jquery though. That file gets embedded into the binary package by the doxygen run. It's not even shipped in upstream libgaminggear. It seems to me that depending on libjs-query would be fragile since doxygen's internal jquery version and libjs-query's version would not be guaranteed to have compatible APIs as those packages evolve.
It seems there are lots of doxygen-generated package violating this policy. Is this considered an exception to the rule, I wonder?
