We should install documentation with our packages, so that users can use learn how to use the package without an active Internet connection. It is perfectly normal to remove installation and upgrade information from documentation by means of a large patch. For example, see these patches to ocrmypdf and flycheck: https://browse.dgit.debian.org/ocrmypdf.git/tree/debian/patches/patch-docs-for-Debian.patch https://browse.dgit.debian.org/ocrmypdf.git/tree/debian/patches/path-to-docs-for-Debian.patch https://browse.dgit.debian.org/flycheck.git/tree/debian/patches/patch-README-for-Debian.patch -- Sean Whitton
