This in particular would be great to have applied. For some years I've
been keeping a scoreboard of packages that still ship files in /usr/doc
and /usr/man
(http://people.debian.org/~cjwatson/doc-scoreboard-sid.html). Aside
from a recent regression in imapfilter, which I just filed separately,
all the other entries are hurd-i386 packages whose source packages
build-depend on xutils-dev, and so are probably due to this bug.
If this were fixed and the six affected packages binNMUed, I think I
would get one fewer cron mail per day. :-)
