I said this too, (it is currently a lintian check.) But no
one is forced to run lintian or pay attention if they do. And
lintian cannot check if there should be a menu entry if there is not one,
only if the menu entry is not implemented properly. Wishlist bugs need to
be filed for the doc and menu things. Maybe the QA list could help to
facilitate this.

Yes lintian should be used, but it is currently not effective in getting
the bugs fixed. I suppose if an error were reported for each package which
does not use doc-base, it would be helpful.
btw. This (below) is what my potato dwww shows for "list of html documents"
Do I have to configure it, or somesuch, or is this all there is ?
