I agree. I would make a proposal that sounds like: Move to usr/share/doc in individual packages. Do nothing else. No symlinks, no messing with dpkg, no scripts. But I don't need to because this is exactly what will happen if no proposal gets amended. And anyway, it doesn't harm to see proposals and evaluate them. Maybe someone happens to make a good one that is not too expensive. > aj, who thinks he's about at the point where he doesn't have anything > more to say on this (hurray) Yeah, it seems all facts are on the table, and no new proposals are coming up. > ``The thing is: trying to be too generic is EVIL.

Especially the "more bugs" seems to be very wrong in my experience. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
