Package: debian-policy Version: 3.7.3.0 12.5 currently reads: "/usr/share/doc/package may be a symbolic link to another directory in /usr/share/doc only if the two packages both come from the same source and the first package Depends on the second. These rules are important because copyrights must be extractable by mechanical means."
Proposing to clarify this to "... come from the same source and the first package directly or indirectly depends on the second ...". For the intention mentioned in the last sentence ("must be extractable by mechanical means") it doesn't matter if the dependency is direct or indirect. If there are other reasons for the stricter direct dependency, please clarify this as "directly depends". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
