They are now documented on the wiki, as previously noted in this
thread.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. In which upstream package,
shipped by Debian, do you think this documentation should be ?
Are you saying that this bug report should now be regarded as a
request to move the documentation from the wiki to some source
package ?

Should I file a bug in the Debian BTS about the fact that my
employer's Microsoft Exchange server corrupts emails ?
I really don't see the difference, in principle ...
To be honest what I mostly seem to understand from your contributions
to this bug a general but rather unfocused hostility to multiarch. It
is of course fine for you not to like multiarch. But the purpose of
the BTS is not to be an outlet for gripes; if it were I have plenty of
my own. The purpose of the BTS is for us to track specific problems,
the correction of which lies in our power.
But I'm wasting too much of everyone's time arguing about the state of
this now-non-bug. It would be better just to let it sit and rot in
the BTS so this will be my last message here.
Ian.
