[EBOOK-DEV]? What's the -DEV for? If it's development, why (why not just [EBOOK])? And why is it at the start of the short description so that it takes up more precious screen space in frontends that don't have much space to display the short description? Finally, where was this discussed? (I didn't see it on debian-doc, debian-devel, debian-policy, anywhere I might reasonably expect to see people trying to improve documentation standards.) If it had been discussed, I think a much better solution might have been proposed, such as an Electronic-Book: yes header (compare Meta-Package: yes) or something along those lines. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
