Yes, but if you read undocumented(7) it says "this is here because it's a bug, there should be something in the BTS.". Violating the spirit of the policy is still viloating the policy :-) . > 2. is it ok to include my placeholder manpage with the deb package? it > really doesn't give any useful information at all. just gives the app > name, installed files and the author. It would be better to write a more complete manual page or at least include basic information such as what the program does and a reference pointing at the actual documentation. If the man page is too useless and people look at it you're likely to get bugs complaining about its inadequacy. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
