Package: debian-reference
Severity: normal

Section 1.4 recommends installing several packages of doubtful utility.
It also mentions silly ones, suggesting an "apt-get install apt" and
then dpkg. Recommending to install these packages for reading the
Reference is not useful. It assumes that most people will read it
sequentially, which I doubt is the case. Instead, references in the
Reference to files included in those packages should be checked to not
imply that the files should be present by default.
However, if this section is kept, note that the French translation does
not properly explain the purpose of installing these packages ("to make
the best use of this document"). It's presented as if Debian would not
install enough stuff by default.
