Control: tags 812252 pending
Dear maintainer,
I've prepared an NMU for less (versioned as 481-2.1) and uploaded it to
DELAYED/5. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it longer.
This patch is similar in intent to that provided by Frederik Möllers
four weeks ago, but I did the reconciliation the other way round (i.e.
moving the contents of debian/less.postinst into debian/postinst etc.
rather than vice versa), since the package-name-less files are
longer-standing and since this resulted in a much shorter and
easier-to-read patch.
I care about this because I'm starting to get reports about this
directed to me as man-db maintainer, and it obviously makes a difference
to how usable man(1) appears to be out of the box.
Regards,
