Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.2.0.1
Severity: wishlist

Thanks for maintaining debian-policy; it is one of the things that
really distinguishes Debian in an excellent way!


For many years, I've installed debian-policy from sid on a stable system
to have it readily available, but recent versions of debian-policy have
a versioned dependency that is unsatisfyable in stable:

  Depends: libjs-sphinxdoc (<< 1.7.6.0~), libjs-sphinxdoc (>= 1.7.6)

I'm not sure exactly what necessitates a dependency on these (html
documentation?). The main files of interest to me are policy.txt.gz and
upgrading-checklist.txt.gz, and find it hard to believe those require
libjs-sphinxdoc to read. I imagine several of the other formats (.epub,
.pdf) also shouldn't require libjs-sphinxdoc.

If it is plausible to downgrade to a Recommends, or split out the
libjs-sphinxdoc documentation into a separate package, or the text-only
documentation into a separate package, or some other resolution, that
would be much appreciated!


live well,
  vagrant
