    The only reason is really one of aesthetics.  The actual package is
iraf; it seemed somehow "better-looking" to have the primary doc-dir as
iraf rather than iraf-common.  Still, lacking for a better suggestion, I'm
about to sacrifice my aesthetics to the great god Policy :)  We'll see
what Lintian says about it.
