Re: Bug#39463,#39482,#39493: timidity, cdrdao, cdtool has no manpage for something

Hi,

Ohhhh... OK :) So you don't want to not document things... whew :)

I apologise for the outburst. It might happen again tho, I'm something
of a loose cannon sometimes :)

Yes, I can explain, I think.

I believe the idea is this: 

the symlink to undocumented* should exist,
  if and only if 
           ( 
               (a) there is no man page available currently,
              AND
               (b) a bug report IS filed to that effect
           ).

That's the sense I get from policy, so lintian is slightly inaccurate, and
maybe it would be a little difficult to get it to be. Maybe there should be
a lintiand that lives on mirrors that checks for problems that can only be
determined by looking at such databases as bug lists, packages files,
override files and the like.
