Bug#629890: Please include "Apt-Howto" in this package
Package: apt-doc
Severity: wishlist
Please include "Apt-Howto" in this package. Several years ago it was a
separate package in Debian.

http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt-howto
The first page says its obsolete, however at first glance I didn't
recognize any outdated informations. It seems that it was marked
obsolete and removed from repository because it was
unmaintained/orphaned. It is a good piece of documentation, the author
put his time and work into it, and it will be a loss if this will be
totally abandoned and forgotten. It may require some reviewing by
people who know Apt well enough, to find out if it contains any
outdated informations, and probably some small corrections.
Maybe later it will be even feasible to combine Apt-Howto and APT
User's Guide into one document? Surely it will require much more work
so I think that including Apt-Howto in this package is enough for now.
