Should we file a bug against debian-cd so this doesnt get > lost? Bug submitted In the past I tried to tackle this through ftp.debian.org, since the Debian CD scripts would mirror all the content under /debian/doc/ in the mirrors to the '/doc/' directory in the CDs. Unfortunately, the Ftp masters have ignored #172482 completely. Currently the only way to put stuff under that directory si through BYHAND processing [1] which is a p* in the a* (for them and for package maintainers, just look at http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html and check out the status of doc-debian). Regards Javier [1] Which, incidentally, means that documentation needs to be provided in a Debian package which is not always the case and also introduces a gap between publishing in the website (through CVS, which is automatically build) to publishing in the ftp site (need to make a package from the CVS sources, sign and upload).
