Well, the problem is IMHO the following: Currently med-doc uses
SGML with linuxdoc DTD. A (currently) imaginary np-doc package uses
XML with any DTD and a (currently) imaginary jr-doc package uses
for instance debiandoc-sgml. If cdd-dev should provide a Build-Depends
from the doc tool we now would have to build depend from at least three
different packages (probably even more). This really sucks. This can
be fixed by either
1. Force people to write their docs with only one tool.
2. Keep the doc package outside.
If you ask me personally I could live with forcing people to "the best"
tool, but my Free Software real live experience showed that this does not
work.
Kind regards
Andreas.
