The manual cannot be shipped with the software in a "strict sense" as
a) at least in Debian it does not comply the Debian Free Software
Guidelines (because it may not be altered) and thus must reside in
it's own mysql-doc package in the non-free part of the ftp archive.
b) (minor point: for convinience, it is in it's own package due
to it's size)
So was your above sentence just not exact and you really require me
to remove the mysql manual from Debian?
If, on the other hand, you want to have it shipped "in a distribution that
also has the mysql server and client binaries in another package" then I need
a short and clear copyright addition that I can put into the copyright file
of the package to make the ftp master happy again.
