heh..

the cheating way would be:

lynx -source http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/dists/potato/Contents-i386.gz\
 | gunzip | sed -n '33,$s!^\([^[:space:]]*\).*$!/\1!p' | xargs ls


otherwise.. here's a really evil way (if i understand how auto-apt works
correctly):

mv /usr/doc /usr/doc.bak
while ls /usr/doc; do
      mv /usr/doc/* /usr/doc.bak
done
mv /usr/doc.bak /usr/doc
