Bug#260616: is /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kdvi/srcltx.sty in the correct path?

I don't object to the files being *copied* (or symlinked) elsewhere.

What I was basically trying to say was:

1) it's not an error -- they were put where upstream meant to put them;
2) they shouldn't be *moved* elsewhere (as requested in the bug report),
since this will break the docs.

But more to the point, I don't believe these style files are even
necessary.  The tetex in sid supports -src, which does the same job as
these style files but is more robust (AIUI).

Ben.
