(END) (press h for > help or q to quit) The man firehol-conf.5 page appears to be present in the two packages: this is not expected and confuse the apt machinery. [I have just removed the firehol-doc package from my box, and the firehol.conf(5) is present and contains `.so man5/firehol-conf.5'.] The package firehol must contain the man page firehol, which refers to firehol.conf. Both contains basic information, and as such they can be used as quick reminder or introduction. The package firehol-doc contains far more advanced information. So, for consistency reasons (and historical reasons [there was a time when the firehol-doc document was non-existent]), firehol.conf must be in the firehol package. Nevertheless, it is true that the manpage firehol.conf is somewhere between the two packages firehol and firehol.conf. > > It would be better if the firehol.conf.5.gz were moved to > firehol-doc, see above. and it would be even better if firehol.conf.5 were a > stub that said to install firehol-doc for access to the > documentation, and that stub were to be substituted with the real > thing if firehol-doc were in fact installed. I guess this is implicit. Some line in the README.Debian may be added to precise this point.

[I plan to fix this issue at the next release].
