Package: xterm
Version: 3.3.2.3a-7
Severity: wishlist

Please ignore this bug report for a few weeks - you have many more important
things to do. :-)

I was looking at /usr/doc/xterm/, and at how big the changelog and copyright
files are, and thinking about how slipping up xbase is going to result in
lots more duplication of those files, when it hit me:

xterm and many other packages from the xfree86 source all have the same
changelog and copyright, and they all depend on xlib6g. Since they depend on
it, it's legal to make their changelog.Debian and copyright files be
symlinks to its files. It'd be nice if you can do this at some point, to
save a few K on everyone's system. As I said, very low priority.
