Package: autoconf
Version: 2.59a-7
Severity: important
The README.Debian file currently starts with:
,----
| README for Debian Autoconf package
| ----------------------------------
|
| No documentation, because the Debian project has decided that the GNU
| FDL is not an acceptable license for documentation. If you disagree
| with this decision, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't
| do anything about it by myself, so filing bugs will do you no good.
| Sorry.
`----
A README.Debian file is not the correct place to indicate your
disagreement with debian-legal's, or rather the project as a whole's,
decisions. More gravely, it doesn't help the user. Instead,
- This README should point to the autoconf-doc package in non-free, and
maybe also to online versions of the document
- autoconf(1) should be patched so that the "SEE ALSO" section explains
that autoconf-doc needs to be installed.
The last change has nothing to do with freeness, it should be good
practice for any package whose documentation is split off into a
separate binary package.
Regards, Frank
