Re: Fwd: Bug#688299: libpolyorb3: using diversions in M-A: same packages is a bad idea

Thanks Ludovic and Nicolas,

I will remove the manpage from libpolyorb3. Does my DM status enough in
order to ask for a freeze exception ?
Then when the bug is fixed in wheezy I'll try to sort out if we need
this manpage or the documentation is enough as it is provided by upstream.

Cheers, xavier
