Hi, Looking at 5.5 in Debian-TeX-Policy.txt.gz, I see : ======== Packages should make documentation available to `texdoc'. This can be done be either installing the files below `/usr/share/texmf/doc', or by providing symlinks from subdirectories of that location to the actual documentation files. To allow partial parallel installation of different basic TeX packages, these always install their documentation files into `/usr/share/doc/<packagename>' and put symlinks into their respective <TEXMFDIST>.
A package must not install files into (subdirectories of) `/usr/share/texmf/doc', which is a symbolic link to `/usr/share/doc/texmf'. ======== However, on my system, /usr/share/texmf/doc is a directory. Looking at tex-common preinst and postinst, it seems this is deliberate. The problem is that several external LaTeX packages still install their documentation in /usr/share/doc/texmf (respecting the Debian-Tex-Policy) and, of course, they are not reachable with texdoc anymore. So, where is the bug ? In the TeX policy (and, by extension, in all packages using /usr/share/doc/texmf)? Or in tex-common (and, by extension, in all packages using /usr/share/texmf/doc)? In any case, I think this will require a MBF, hence the CC to debian-devel.
