Package: emacs
Version: 1:26.1+1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading to emacs 26 (currently from unstable) on a testing system
AND removing emacs25-common-non-dfsg
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Nothing (I suppose that I can restore emacs 25 manual by reinstalling
emacs25-common-non-dfsg).
* What was the outcome of this action?
Irrelevant.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Irrelevant
Complementary rant : I use emacs since 1987 (yes !), and still have to use
the manual to (re-)learn about an exotic feature I didn't use for a couple
of years. This manual is a ^G^G_**NECESSITY**_^G^G !
I am aware that Debian has some (prudish ?) reservation about the "free
software"
status of this manual, but in the past, the solution was to place contentious
elements in emacsXX-common-non-dfsg, distributed in contrib (IIRC). Why cant't
this solution be used for the unversioned emacs ?
