Hmm, time to report a bug > against gettext-base for not having a manual page for gettext.sh... I realize that you're probaly using that example as a rhetorical device, but in fact any widely used shell library _should_ have a man page. For debconf I document /usr/share/debconf/confmodule in confmodule(3). I also think it would be nice if every package that uses debhelper did not have to hardcode /usr/share/debconf/confmodule. There are probably more such scripts in debian than ones that use gettext.sh. However, putting it in any bin directory offends my sense of aesthetics, so I didn't. If there had been a /usr/lib/shell or whatever, I'd have certianly taken advantage of it. I think that would be a useful addition to policy. -- see shy jo
