Hi all, I'm trying to cut down john's bugs [0], and I've encountered #132223 [1]. As the previous maintainer did, I would have marked that bug as wontfix, because a normal user shouldn't normally run programs not in $PATH. However, re-reading the Policy, it states: +==> §12.1 | Each program, utility, and function should have an associated manual page | included in the same package. It is suggested that all configuration files | also have a manual page included as well. Manual pages for protocols and other | auxiliary things are optional. +========== This suggests that it should have a manpage. But, it's a *should*. On the other hand, I know that many "entities" which are not in $PATH have their own manpage -- see for example Perl modules. How should I behave here? Kindly, David [0] http://bugs.debian.org/john [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=132223 -- . ''`.
