For the record: $ dpkg -L libxine1|grep /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/xine /usr/share/doc/xine/faq /usr/share/doc/xine/faq/faq.html /usr/share/doc/xine/faq/faq.txt.gz /usr/share/doc/xine/README /usr/share/doc/xine/README.syncfb.gz /usr/share/doc/xine/README.network_dvd /usr/share/doc/xine/README.opengl /usr/share/doc/xine/README.dvb.gz /usr/share/doc/xine/README.dxr3.gz /usr/share/doc/libxine1 /usr/share/doc/libxine1/copyright /usr/share/doc/libxine1/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/libxine1/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/libxine1/ChangeLog.gz Given the binary package 'xine' does not exist currently, I think this is a policy violation due to namespace breakage. As I read policy 12.3, documentation in /usr/share/doc/foobar must be about package foobar, but can be actually shipped in a different binary package, for example foobar-doc. Here, the documentation in libxine1 cannot about binary package xine since xine does not exists.
