Which is why I said that such a man page should be encouraged :-). In fact, given a decent template (many of which exist), it would be easier to write the manpage and send it to the maintainer than submit the bug report. > If a package doesn't have *any* documentation, then there's not much > point in packaging it -- only people who have source code will be > able to use it. But a lot of packages have one or more "main" binaries that do have man pages, and a few auxiliary binaries that don't. Or have decent output from 'foo --help'. (Consider the state of dpkg's manpage for a long time, until some kind souls got ambitious and contributed one.)
