I was doing that because without the doc-base file I was getting a
lintian warning:
I: libghc6-json-doc: possible-documentation-but-no-doc-base-registration
N:
N: The package ships a .html or .pdf file under /usr/share/doc/, which are
N: usually documentation, but it does not register anything in doc-base.
N: (Files under an examples directory are excluded.)
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.10 (Registering Documents using
N: doc-base) for details.
N:
N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible
If we have a good reason to not supply doc-base registration with
libghc6-*-doc packages then we should raise a bug against lintian
If someone can give me a good explanation of why we don't want doc-base
registration, I'll raise the bug and follow it through.
Cheers,
Erik
