What possible assurance could I give you?
I think, say, filiing important bugs on the relevant packages would
suffice to ensure that the issue is fixed prior to the release.
Clearly I'm not proposing to do this now -- no, only once we've

web-enable documentation browsing. Having both /usr/doc and
/usr/share/doc will be problematic.
