In that vein, perhaps the best policy is to not require the package maintainer to file a bug report himself/herself. Instead, it should be a lintian warning (if it isn't already). I suspect most package maintainers are more likely to respond to a bug report from a user of the package than they are to do it on their own initiative. Once they receive said bug report, if they can't/won't write a man page, they should add that to TODO.Debian... Chris
