To debian-packaging-manual, debian-developers-reference, debian-maint-guide,
debian-doc? The last one would be okay (although then it would be named
differently than doc-linux*, which was the original, I guess), but the other
three are way too long. (and yes, that's as much as a cosmetical remark as
is the wish to rename them :)
Besides, if we rename them, they wouldn't get automatically upgraded
anymore, unless we put dummy packages in place, which is Ugly(TM).
