There is a lot to be said for that idea. Although I wrote it for my own
benefit I did have #532097 in my mind. Quoting the fourth paragraph:

 To get the Debian cups bugs into some useful state again, someone who
 knows the Linux printing system very well needs to sit down and write
 a comprehensive "how to debug printing problems" document: in
 particular, how to identify in which package the problem is, which
 debug information to collect, and common workarounds/tests which help
 the reporter's immediate problem and are useful for diagnosis.

I do not want to advocate strongly for a Debian package to necessarily
include such a document but there are advantages to having it on the
system because it is easily to hand and can be pointed to. Is there a
reason why it could not be in both places?

Anyway, the material I've presented is available for anyone to alter,
correct, add to and transform into a wiki.

Regards,

Brian.
