Allow me to be more specific: where did the rest of the vnc
documentation go? I like unneccessary information and have trouble
with the idea that the html markup in the obseleted vnc-doc package
caused a 20-fold increase in its size. I dislike reading
documentation on the internet. That is the dumb part.
I will probably do a dpkg --force-depends on this, but that seems an
ugly kludge.
