Version: 10.1
Severity: minor
When DDP was started, those people had big plan. But in reality, scope
has been scaled back.
Since there is no big pile of Debian document and most (Policy,
DevRef,...) now uses their own doc directory, I think it's about time
for FAQ to be in line with others.
This should help people to find this document easily since doc-base
support is scant and rarely used by newbies.

But how about the doc-debian package? That one now installs :
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-log-access.txt
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-*.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/constitution.*txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/debian-manifesto.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/mailing-lists.txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/social-contract.*txt.gz
/usr/share/doc/debian/source-unpack.txt
If those documents get moved, we can get rid of /usr/share/doc/debian/ .
However, I myself am not quite sure if moving these documents is the right
thing to do. Opinions?
Bye,
