Indeed; this is made clear in <file:///usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/footnotes.html#f83>. I'd rather have this relaxed in policy; would it be possible to drop the strict versionning requirements for symlinks? I find the current Gtk dependencies saner than the previous ones which complexified upgrades and were problematic on buildds and end user sid systems due to arch: all / any version mismatches. The symlinks are useful to save space on e.g. live CDs where /usr/share/doc proliferation has a non-negligible cost (some MBs). -- Loïc Minier _______________________________________________ pkg-gnome-maintainers mailing list pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-gnome-maintainers
