X11 != GNOME, hence !GNOME != text.
dwww and dhelp. I use dwww all the time. Browsing /doc directly only
works when you already know the target package, which I don't, most of
the time.
If there is already a lintian check for this (as Vincent Bernat writes a
bit down the thread), does that mean the warning gets ignored or
overridden in all these cases?

Mail-Copies-To another good idea that has fallen by the wayside? :-(
