It has been more than 1 year since the technical committee decided how the /usr/share/doc transition would be accomplished[1], and in that time most packages have implementede the transition. The decision stated that "Thus, potato+1 (woody) ships with a full /usr/share/doc, and a /usr/doc full of symlinks." and went on to detail how woody+1 (sarge?) will begin to phase out the symlinks and how woody+2 will finally be free of this mess.
I'm looking forward to a day with a lot less postinst and postrm scripts myself, so I want to make sure we don't miss the traget of full conversion by woody's release. There are a total of 645 packages that have not been converted[2]. There are 16 weeks between December 31st and Aj's projected freeze date for woody. If 40 people could do one package a week, we would be done. Or 20 people doing two a week, or just 6 people doing one a day. In other words, it seems acheivable, especially if we file bugs now on the undone packages, which would probably wake a fair number of maintainers up..
