To be clear about this:
I do not object to Debian organizing itself how it sees fit. I am not
a Debian developer; I may never be a Debian developer.
This is how the Debian process dealt with the issue:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001
and I respect that.
BUT I find it absolutely astounding that people think that this vote
is a basis for going round removing documentation without providing an
alternative.
And, to remove GNU documentation from Emacs is tantamount to
vandalism. It would be better to move the whole package to non-free
rather than remove the documentation. It's such an insane thing to do.
Of course... if lots of packages are moved to non-free I might as well
use ubuntu. I've never had to use non-free before.
