Actually, the *development* documentation of bzip2 is available in
Debian, even though it is not in the most obvious place. Instead of
being in libbz2-dev itself, or in libbz2-doc (not existing), it is
part of bzip2-doc. This, I believe, comes from the unfortunate
upstream choice of distributing all kind docs together.

Nevertheless I think the -dev package can do better to advertise where
the doc is, for example choosing one of the two:

* "Provides: libbz2-doc" on bzip2-doc

* "Recommends: bzip2-doc" from libbz2-dev

Cheers.

PS Can please the maintainers comment on that? these 2 bugs have been
   open for *6 years* and fixing them is as easy as pointed out
   above.
