Bug#148216: documentation for latex: something other than empty directories

["C.M. Connelly" <c@eskimo.com>]

The documentation files are in the tetex-doc package.

    MZ> moshez@darjeeling:/$ find /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/  -type f|wc -l
    MZ> 0 
    MZ> moshez@darjeeling:/$ find /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/ -type d|wc -l 
    MZ> 62

Hmm.  I've actually completely rewritten the rules file for
building the texmf packages (tetex-base, tetex-doc, tetex-extra),
and one of the things I still have to do is make sure that we
aren't including extra, empty directories.  So once we switch to
the new build system these directories should go away.

By the way, the following command will do the same thing in one line:

   % find /usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/ -type d -empty | wc -l

Thanks for your report -- I've kind of dropped the ball on the
rewrite because I got a job and have been busy all day learning
about how things work and what needs to be fixed and kind of
burned out by the time I get home.  I'll try to take another look
at things soon.
