tag 829288 - pending thanks As this is not as straightforward as it originally looked, I'm removing the pending tag: the packaging of org-mode in Debian doesn't use the version in ELPA, but instead uses an upstream tarball that doesn't include the non-DFSG-compatible documentation. The package also splits contrib/ vs. main/, making it a bit more special.
Also, there are simply no packages depending on org-mode; Sean, considering this, can you spell out the practical advantages that'd be obtained by moving org-mode to dh_elpa ? Cheers, --Seb
