Man pages generated from POD, for example, will be different if the version of Pod::Man or Pod::Simple used to generate them is different, which could easily happen across a point release of Perl, and hence across a binNMU. I suspect Doxygen is even more fragile (although somewhat less likely to be included directly in a -dev package rather than a separate -docs package because it's larger). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
