Hi,
This is probably a question with an obvious answer, but I couldn't find
the answer.
Why are man pages installed with owner and group "root" rather than
owner and group "man"?

It's also useful for people using x86-type CPUs without the full 686
instruction set - vis. the Via C3 cpu's, in use in a *lot* of systems.
Not having a 386-compatible kernel+libc, just a 686-compatible one, would
mean you couldn't run Debian at all on those machines.

Also, the presence of 20MB of extra files in /etc/ is a serious
hindrance on machines with limited disk space or small root partitions.

Packaging system does this. Which probably means an Official
Debian Person sending the letter, with dates of when the technology was
introduced into Debian, and perhaps extracts from the Packaging Manuals
of the period to show this.
It delays mail from people who haven't mailed you before. This is

Given that they *suggest* a set of runlevels, which provides "one spare for
local config", would it be out of order for users to file wishlist bugs
on packages not following these guidelines?

Hey! Some of us still don't need all the features of 2.4!

Even better - use cfengine to automagically check that the config files
were accurate. Plus, it would make a good example cfengine file for the
