I think that the .texi source belongs in the package source. Why
make yet another package out of things when it's already there?
Perhaps there ought to be (ie, suggested by, but not required by
policy) a "debian/rules" target for creating the .dvi or .ps, whenif
the upstream Makefile doesn't perform that task adequately.

It sure would be nice if someone would extend `gv' to have `Lectern'
like keybinds, with searching and everything... and maybe some
`info' keys too. <sigh> I've got a book about postscript, but
haven't read it yet, and don't know C and X programming well enough
to take it on yet. <grin>
