So gcc-4.2-doc is really built from gcc-4.2 source.
Short before etch, there was all that story about removing FDL docs from
main. And it very looked like etch was going to be released without gcc
documentation even in non-free. Because availability of compiler
documentation is very important for my personal workflow, I've created
gcc-4.1-doc-non-dfsg [non-free] and gcc-doc-defaults [contrib] packages,
that provided the documentation.
Currently, gcc-4.2-doc *is* in main. Does this mean that FDL paranoia has
gone to past, or gcc-4.2-doc is in main just in error - I don't know. But
depending on this, either non-free and contrib packages should be updated,
or gcc-doc should be provided by gcc-defaults (as it was some time ago).
Matthias, could you please comment on this?
Nikita
