Public bug reported:
I recently installed linux-doc on 24.04 LTS only to find that there are
no files in it, changelog and README are the only ones.
A cursory search on packages.ubuntu.com shows that this seems to be the
case since the Noble release. All packages prior, i.e. Jammy and older
still have the actual contents. There seems to be no replacement either.
Searching for known existing files in the kernel docs, i.e. by way of
`apt-file search kernel-parameters.html`, turned up empty.
What happened? Nowhere could I find an explanation. My first guess was
some restructuring of the repository, but then that search above should
have turned up the new package. The package description only says that
package is deprecated and will be dropped in the future, but no
explanation as to why and how to go about acquiring the actual
documentation of the running kernel.
