Bug#184518: footnote 6
Package: debian-policy
Severity: minor
Footnote 6 says:
"4% of Debian packages [see Debconf stats] currently use debconf"
Two minor bugs, but should I really bother submitting different bug
reports?
http://kitenet.net/programs/debconf/stats/ says:
"Whups, you want to go here. " and points to
http://auric.debian.org/~joeyh/debconf-stats/
http://auric.debian.org/~joeyh/debconf-stats/data says:
03/12/2003, 780, 12269
Which is roughly 6.3574863477055994783600945472329. 6% is currently more
accurate than 4%.
Debian Policy Manual version 3.5.9.0 was created on 2003-03-07. (according
to the bottom of the TOC). On that date the data says:
03/07/2003, 783, 12281
Which is roughly 6.3757023043726080938034362022637, slightly higher. I
recommend if such a statistic is to be kept, it should be flagged and
updated upon revision of the document. (I know 2% is within "roughly",
that's why I set the severity to minor.)
