Bug#536343: tex-common: docbase section for tex-on-debian
Package: tex-common
Version: 1.20
Severity: normal
tex-common provides two doc-base entries, one for debian-tex-policy
and one for tex-on-debian. Both register into the Debian section in
the docs.
debian-tex-policy explains how to organise other TeX packages for
Debian, so of course Debian is the correct section for that.
tex-on-debian, on the other hand, is intended for users who want to
extend their TeX system locally.
There is some TeX user documentation for other packages found in
Section: Tex and some in Section: Text.
I'd like to suggest that ordinary users may not think to check the
Debian section for TeX user docs, and so I might suggest registering
the tex-on-debian in either the Tex or Text section. What do you think?
