Yes, but it would certainly be better to split out a -doc package. > Is it as simple as editing debian/control to describe two deb files and > have a new debian/install file for the doc package? (I guess not :-/) It's pretty straightforward, but not quite that simple. For one thing, you'll want to rename all the files in debian/ specifically pertaining to the main package to start with "toulbar2." for clarity. Also, please note that destinations in .install files should always be directory names, and that dh_installdocs will take care of doc-base files for you if you name them according to the directions in its man page. If you have any heavyweight build dependencies that are necessary only when building the main binary package, or only when building documentation, it's best practice to split them out into Build-Depends-Arch or Build-Depends-Indep, respectively. Finally, I'd recommend running debc (from the devscripts package) to get an overview of each package's contents and metadata while you're working on this setup. -- Aaron M.
