Package: autoconf Version: 2.59a-7 Severity: important The README.Debian file currently starts with:
,---- | README for Debian Autoconf package | ---------------------------------- | | No documentation, because the Debian project has decided that the GNU | FDL is not an acceptable license for documentation. If you disagree | with this decision, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't | do anything about it by myself, so filing bugs will do you no good. | Sorry. `---- A README.Debian file is not the correct place to indicate your disagreement with debian-legal's, or rather the project as a whole's, decisions. More gravely, it doesn't help the user. Instead, - This README should point to the autoconf-doc package in non-free, and maybe also to online versions of the document - autoconf(1) should be patched so that the "SEE ALSO" section explains that autoconf-doc needs to be installed. The last change has nothing to do with freeness, it should be good practice for any package whose documentation is split off into a separate binary package.
