Bug#432827: docbook-doc: please consider not releasing this package with lenny

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: docbook-doc
Version: 30d10-8
Severity: serious

Hi Roland,

While looking at very old packages in Debian, I came across docbook-doc.
I'd like you to consider not releasing it with lenny:

- it's not longer updated upstream (last update in 2002)

- it documents pre-3.0 docbook, which might confuse users.

- as said in the package description, docbook-defguide is more up to
  date (even if that one is orphaned).

- even for historical purposes, this documentation is easy to find
  online, see
  http://www.google.fr/search?q=%22Guide%20to%20the%20DocBook%20DTD%22

Thank you,

retitle 432827 RM: docbook-doc -- RoM; old and useless
reassign 432827 ftp.debian.org
thanks

I fully agree with Lucas's reasons for removing that venerable old
package.  It's not as if I even used it anymore myself.  Please
consider removing docbook-doc from sid/lenny.

Roland.
