Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.0.1
Severity: wishlist
The technical committee has been asked to resolve the issue of what to do
with /usr/share/doc. I propose we actually adopt their decision. I
propose further that we don't bother to have discussion--we're past all
that. The decision has been made and while possibly not the best one,
it's the one that is currently being used by debhelper and is the one
handed down to us.
As for the technical implementation of the tech-ctte decision, I propose
we use joeyh's implementation found in any recently uploaded debhelper
package.
I also propose that I stop proposing things because it sounds completely
silly and definitely reflects that I need to propose I actually pry myself
away from this terminal and get some sleep.
How's that? =p
