In this case, the policy just wants to see a symlink. Read the short section 12.3. I would expect a symlink in /usr/share/doc/emboss(-doc) in this case. If there is no dependency on this path, the documentation should be moved in /usr/share/doc/emboss(-doc). > The idea of splitting doc-base per theme is interesting: indeed the > EMBOSS applications are sorted by groups: > > http://emboss.sourceforge.net/apps/release/4.1/emboss/apps/groups.html > > Many thanks for your interest in EMBOSS ! I want to test the different sequence formats to check, if an association of the emboss programs (a special program) with MIME types would be useful. I just want to examine the situation.
