Is there a proposal on this field at all? I ask because I'm interested in knowning more about what you're suggesting. I can think of some syntax that would be helpful. One that comes to mind is: Package: libfoo-dev Documentation: any(foo), rfc(2549) Package: libfoo-doc Provides-Documentation: doc-base(foo), manpages(foo) It just seems to me that documentation would be topical and media- grouped rather than a package naming paradigm. The RFC type could be expanded to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc{ID}, for example. -- Ben Collins https://debian.org | https://ubuntu.com https://ben-collins.blogspot.com https://catchmobilehealth.com -- 3EC9 7598 1672 961A 1139 173A 5D5A 57C7 242B 22CF
