I didn't believe it, but yes: it's there.

Taking the risk to burn like hell: I think the "exhaustive exploration"
of ANY political theory and practice is VERY misplaced in ANY Linux
distribution. I would say the same thing about "The top 1000 FAQ on
home-made apple pie", but nobody has packaged that (yet).

To give a positive formulation: documentation and data packaged in ANY
Linux distribution should either directly relate to (at least) computing
in general or be the input to an also-packaged program (that does more
with it than a little bit of formatting so it reads nicer).
