Boah - hopefully it is not that complicated as it sounds. Having 100
svcs just because to get software relocatable (i.e. e.g. adjust pathes)
seems a little bit too much noise, overhead, work ...

My wish is:
XXX$swname with bits and real man pages incl. texinfo files and help files
directly used by the sw of the package
XXX$swname-docs with all the other stuff, which usually ends up in
/usr/doc[/$swname] or /usr/share/[$swname/]doc/
BTW: What is the replacement for 'grep xyz /var/sadm/install/contents',
i.e. ability to determine matching dirs,files (if any) and the
package, to which they belong?
