The problem with using the pre-packaged documentation instead of building it, however, is that you'll have to constantly check that the pre-packaged documentation actually matches the source that Debian is distributing. Not to mention the fact that it makes it far more difficult to accept Debian-specific packages (or upstream patches) to the documentation if the packages do not actually build the documentation. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I learned really early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something -- Richard Feynman "What is Science" Phys.
