debugging aids for a package and manpages



Hi,

I'm maintaining a package, libapache-mod-dav, that has three tiny
programms (dbu, fixvers, lockview) that are more or less debugging
aids or aids for very unusual situations. I'm using the package for
more than a year and have never needed to even look at them. None of
these programms has a manpage.

Where should I put these programms?
1. /usr/bin/ (where they are now) and provide a short manpage for each
2. /usr/lib/<package-name> and provide a short manpage for each
3. /usr/lib/<package-name> and provide a README in this directory
4. Another solution?

I for myself think leaving them in /usr/bin is more or less namespace
pollution and would put them in /usr/lib/<package-name>. For the same
reason I would put there a README file and no manpages.

What do you think?


Cheers,
Andi
