Package: darcs
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: minor

The HTML manual for darcs, /usr/share/doc/darcs/manual/index.html,
as currently included in Debian has apparently
been generated by a broken tex4ht installation. If you go down the man
to the theory of patches portion (don't tell me I am the 1st one to
attempt to read it!), you will see that the formulae are for some
reasons included as much larger images than needed, mostly blank with
the actual formulae somewhere down the blank area.

tex4ht, as currently installed by default in Debian sarge, 
is known to cause the problem. A known workaround (see tex4ht bug #229569) 
is to tweak /etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.env to use

Gdvipng %%1 -o %%3.png -pp %%2 -q -D123 -bd 2 -Ttight -fg "rgb 0.0 0.0 0.0" 
-bg"Transparent"
Gmv %%3.png %%3

instead of the default G scripts (just prefix the default ones with a
space if you want to retain them there) on the machine where the
manual is built. This requires the package dvipng to be installed.

Thanks for packaging darcs in Debian!
