Package: libcommandline-ruby1.8
Version: 0.7.10-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.10 (doc-base section 2.3)

The two files libcommandline-ruby1.8 installs in /usr/share/doc-base
lack Files fields, breaking installation on at least some
systems (those with doc-base installed?):

} Setting up libcommandline-ruby1.8 (0.7.10-1) ...

} Errors were encountered while processing:

It is mandatory to specify Files even if the only relevant file is the
one already specified as the Index; could you please do so?

Thanks!

Incidentally, it would probably also be wise to give the doc-base files
versioned names (say, by appending -1.8) so that you won't run into
trouble if you add support for other Ruby versions down the road.
