	Happily about this information I hopped upon
/usr/doc/debconf and ! ... found this :

$ ls -l /usr/doc/debconf/
total 2
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          733 Jun 28 04:06 changelog.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          559 Mar 18 08:29 copyright

This is on an unstable machine. I teleported to the next potato
machine I had access to and *whoop*, there it was :

ls -l /usr/doc/debconf/

A search on unstable gave me :

 FILE                                                       PACKAGE
usr/doc/meschach/tutorial.txt.gz                            math/meschach
usr/share/doc/debconf/tutorial.txt.gz                       admin/debconf
usr/share/doc/memstat/memstat-tutorial.txt.gz               admin/memstat
usr/share/doc/rrdtool/rrdtutorial.txt.gz                    utils/rrdtool
usr/share/doc/tdtd/tutorial.txt.gz                          text/tdtd
usr/share/doc/xaos/tutorial.txt.gz                          graphics/xaos
usr/share/doc/xlogmaster/old-tutorial.txt.gz                admin/xlogmaster

I also upgraded to the latest debconf to make sure I don't miss a document
just because I've an old version installed.

So,it _should_ be there, but me running unstable don't have it there. Hm, any
ideas what I did wrong ?

kind regards,
	Markus
