Hi,

the package I'm working on (eprover) contains LaTeX documentation that is 
already compiled into PDF in the upstream tarball. However, since Debian 
Policy states that the preferred format is HTML, I was thinking about 
generating documentation also in HTML. I found a nice program, tex4ht, which 
seems to work quite well. I have a few question though:

1) First, is it a good idea at all to create HTML documentation this way, or 
is the PDF file enough? If yes then:
2) The HTML page is quite large, ~300k, about the same size as the PDF. Should 
I put it into a separate package or not?
3) Should I state 'tex4ht' in build dependencies and rebuild the documentation 
in debian/rules, or should I create it in advance and include it as a 
diff/patch? (This might be a bit complicated as the generated documentation 
contains PNG images of formulas, which diff/patch tools don't like).

Thanks for your opinions/advices.

 Best regards,
 Petr
