There are actually two bugs:
- if texdoctk cannot find a file it looks for, it tries to find it in
other directories. This might make sense with names that indicate the
content, but fails with README (user.dvi and manual.pdf are candidates
for a similar error). Should be special-cased, but I don't have a
patch right now (actually I find texdoctk hard to read - which might
be more due to my ignorance of Perl/Tk than to Perl's unreadability or
Thomas' Ruedas coding style).
- cm-super is missing a symlink /usr/share/texmf/doc/cm-super pointing
to the actual documentation in /usr/share/doc/cm-super. As a
consequence, cm-super/README is not available to texdoctk (and texdoc,
for that matter).
It turns out that this list is the maintainer for both affected
packages, but since I fear I'd forget this, may I ask you to file the
necessary bugs for me, please?
In any case, thanks for noticing!
