Several important changes have to be done to the packaging manual (e.g.,
the handling of shared libraries in postinst scripts--see policy weekly
posting released in the next days) and therefore, I'd like to release a
separate packaging-manual package in the next few days (upload for
"hamm").
If the dpkg maintainer's agree, could someone of them please upload a new
dpkg package which does not include the manual anymore? (Please email me
directly if you need to know which files I take over exactly.) Another
possibility would be that I do a NMU of dpkg for this. Is this preferred?
Thanks,
Chris
