An issue then being that `suidmanager' must be one of the first
things to get installed. Should it then be part of the base set?
Some more facilities should be hacked into syslogd, I think.
Hmmm... fax, ppp, www, isdn(?), uhhmmm... what else?

The Debian Policy Manual is ofcourse also available as a debian package.
I suggest being more specific here. Something like:
The Debian Policy Manual is also available in the Debian package

A few days ago there was a discussion on debian-devel about
`namespace-pollution', i.e., binaries in the PATH which use a very short
name (1 or 2 characters). The problem with such binaries is that users
usually take 1- or 2-character names for aliases, short shell scripts,
etc.

suchlike? So that someone looking for a person with a certain set of

I propose that perhaps source code distributed in .deb packages, such
as kernel sources, be unpacked directly inside "/usr/src", and that

this would be more of a conven

This is concerning Bug#17908, which is a bug I filed against
debiandoc-sgml for no man page for
/usr/lib/debiandoc-sgml/bin/saspconvert. I felt that I should retract
the bug since the program is under /usr/lib.
