It's about a fifth of the page, I think, and it'll get larger percentagewise as base breaks up more. Also, on Debian systems, we add all installed libraries to this index, so it gets even larger. > I'd say > that this list is highly interesting to people unfamiliar with the package > structure, so it is good that it is there. Is that really helpful? There isn't a mapping from package name to modules, so I'm not sure what it buys you. I'm sure I've never looked at it. I'm interested in other opinions on this, as I planned to remove the list from the Debian packages. Would it be better to have a separate page with a package index, containing the description of each package and a link to each of the modules that it provides?
