Re: Packages with un usable documentation

No, why should it?

| just a "SEE ALSO" section. Each package which doesn't do this should get
| an important bug.

That's just silly.

| IMO a must in any case is a "/usr/share/doc/<packagename>/README.debian"
| which lists all possible "man ..." of this package. Each package which
| doesn't do this should get an serious bug.
