Bug#3013: elvis is too granular and has short description
>Firstly, it would be helpful if the elvis packages could be merged soo
>that there weren't so many of them.
They are:
elviscmn -- common files needed by elvisx11 and/or elvisnox
elvisx11 -- elvis with an X11 gui interface, needs libX11
elvisnox -- elvis without X11 gui interface, doesn't need libX11
elvisctags -- ctags from the elvis source package, should be separate
Is there a clean way of getting the common-files treatment without
needing a separate elviscmn package? If so, where is this documented
in the dpkg usage docs? ;-]

All the packages except elviscmn have extended descriptions.
The summary description in elviscmn says all that there is to say.
Should I repeat it more verbosely in an extended description?
>Thirdly, elviscmn should definitely not Recommend both the elvisx11
>and elvisnox packages.
My mistake. I thought I had recommended '|', but I see that I said ','.
I'll upload a new package set soon.
