Does Debian have guidelines for minimal usefullnes or documentation of
a new package? Colour me /clueless, but triggered by DWN, I tried
teleport, without much avail:

Woohoo! Moving the Emacs*) between work and home, is that really
possible? Lets see...
13:18:11 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~
$ sudo apt-get install teleport

Hmm, no (Debian) docs.

Hmm, no info pages.

NAME
teleport - move applications between displays

display migration protocol move to another display.

Hmm, useless manpage.

Hmm, --help does not display help, nor does -h. App dumps core.
Cool.
