Re: strange behavior of dh_dhelp
Sorry to interrupt the flamew^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdiscussion here, but I have a
quick question.

Well, maybe. (see below)

I assume that I can't start filing bugs against the ~116 packages on my
system (eg, libc6) that moved to /usr/share/doc without leaving a symlink
behind until this becomes part of policy. Any idea how long that'll be?
I've attached an estimated list of missing symlinks, generated by the
following command:
for i in /usr/share/doc/*; do if [ -d $i ] && ! [ -L /usr/doc/`basename $i` ]; then echo /usr/doc/`basename $i`; fi; done
(some stuff, like /usr/doc/HTML, is probably not a bug, and some of the
packages are listed for 'other' reasons -- eg, another package provides
the /usr/doc directory, or (in the case of python) the directory is left as
cruft after an upgrade to FHS..but this is just a first approximation. While
I'd like to use a shell script to automatically submit a bug for each package,
I think this needs to be checked on a case-by-case basis..)
