Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a+1-3etch1
Severity: wishlist
I am aware that emacs manuals have been removed from debian
but am surprised that one does not exist even in the non-free
repository. Is this policy ?
If the GNU manuals are deemed so "non-free" that they can't even
be put into the non-free repository of debian then it would
at least be nice to provide some information on where one
may obtain the precisely correct version of the manuals.
For instance on debian etch emacs21 version is 21.4.1.
In the gnu ftp repository (gnu/emacs) there is
emacs-manual-21-2.8 and in (old-gnu/emacs) there are other such
as emacs-manual-21-2.7 , emacs-manual-21.2.6 ... etc.
It is not reasonable to expect that every user of debian
is going to know (without a fair bit of googling or reading
a bunch of readme files or looking at upstream source) which
is the appropriate version of the manual for the installed
emacs version.
