-Found packages with no available documentation


This is a peeve of mine. I was under the impression that nothing got into the archives without a man page, even if the man page said nothing more than "sorry, there's no information here".

Perhaps that rule only applies to the "main" archive or something similar. Or perhaps I just dreamed I read it once somewhere.

At any rate, I think it'd be a good thing to enforce, that no package be allowed into the main archives without some sort of man page, even if it just says "I'm too lazy to write a man page, so you'll have to scour the source" or something similar.

If I'm just lowering the S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio here, my apologies.
