I second the amended proposal. I include a sort-of template for dh_make to help implementing it. It may really save time to autobuilders, since more and more packages use complex text-processing softwares to render theirs documentations, and this often means several packages to be installed before building, and this already take time. It has the added benefit that people needing to rebuild a package (against others libs, say) will need less packages installed in order to compile the binary-arch target. Rebuilding the documentation is often less useful. Regards, Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>
