Hi Lukasz, That would be very nice! I question whether the wiki would be the best place for it, though. It's something that it seems to me would be better served in a fully automatic way from packages.debian.org. There is already some functionality like this for Debian changelogs and copyright files, see for instance http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/c/coreutils/current/ I don't know what script is used to generate these files (nor who is responsible for that script), but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for it to also output the README.Debian files there. It's also worth mentioning that some similar requests have been made in the past: #264589 (man pages), #391359 (upstream changelogs), #419201 (NEWS.Debian files), and these merged bugs that ask for *all* package files to be available for individual download: #148554, #162330, #398942. best regards, -- Kevin B.
