Re: Bug#238948: Display README.Debian for new installs?
What about when there's a useful upstream README instead of a
README.Debian? Additionally, sometimes README.Debian isn't there as a
"read me first," but more like a reference in case something goes wrong.
Without a policy saying specifically what needs to go in such a file,
it would be a little hard to know what to display or if it's worth
displaying.
