	We do not have such a policy, but I would not be opposed to
 it. However, there are those on the list who were not in agreement,
 and I think therefore it should be brought up as a separate proposal
 (I really want to have the simple correction in place, and close the
 oldest bug on debian-policy). 

	Personally, I think we should really clear out the old, simple
 bugs from the policy asap.

	Please start a new peoposal about including the original,
 preferred source form of the documentation, be it texi or SGML or
 nroff, in *some* package.
