Re: conventions for packaging (ie: docs)

[Bill Leach <bleach@bellsouth.net>]

Has the idea been discussed about seperating out more of the
documentation packages from the executable packages?

It has seemed to me that it would be a great benefit to many sysadms if
most packages like smail, sendmail, qmail, apache, etc. had their
documentation in seperate packages that were suggested by the executable
and installable independently.  Optionally dpkg/dselect (diety?) could
be changed to intentionally do partial package installations.
