I agree.
But how about the doc-debian package? That one now installs :
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-log-access.txt
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-*.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.*txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/debian-manifesto.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/mailing-lists.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/social-contract.*txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/source-unpack.txt
If those documents get moved, we can get rid of /usr/share/doc/debian/ .
However, I myself am not quite sure if moving these documents is the right
thing to do. Opinions?
Bye,
