HTML is already our standard documentation format (see policy manual). I don't think that means we should man manual pages less useful, or the only option, so having the Debian maintainer of a package add a small summary-type manual page is a good thing. I could live without this requirement, however. A generic seeinfo(7) page is not very useful, since it isn't always so easy to find the correct Info file and location in that file. Also, it would be better to refer to the HTML version produced via texi2html; we can have dwww recognize links to HTML versions of documents in manual pages, if we want to. -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
