This:

a) doesn't provide any documentation whatsoever about readahead
   (I'd call that an upstream bug, but Ubuntu appears to be the
    upstream in this case)

b) doesn't actually fix my problem of finding out how you build
   a readahead list that matches the actual installed set of
   packages (in my case Kubuntu), especially for the -desktop
   set.


You can hardly call this documentation:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/share/doc/readahead
README.Debian  changelog.Debian.gz  changelog.gz  copyright
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /usr/share/doc/readahead/README.Debian
Readahead should not be used for files stored on NFS currently.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

And the manpages do little more than tell you what the switches
are called.

Personally, I would consider such a lack of documentation a bug,
especially since there's no webpage or other canonical (bah, the
jokes write themselves) source of useful information.

Bron.
