Paul,

Thanks for your mail and comments, sorry for the delay in replying as
I wasn't subscribed to debian-mentors (subscribed now).

I'm not sure what to do about these.  I plan to keep the ladr and
prover9-manual version numbers synchronised although I can foresee
problems if I need to bump the debian revision number.  Perhaps I should
use (>= <current version of the other package at time of packaging>)
and update manually?

-doc is the binary package name and conforms with the majority of manual
packages out there [1] whereas -manual is the original tarball name to
be preserved.  I apparently used the wrong title for the bug; now changed.

The package it is documenting?  Done.

These changes to become part of 0.0.200712-1 to be posted to the list
