Package: dh-make-elpa
Version: 0.7.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi Sean,

I thought I'd take a quick look at dh-make-elpa's create_docs, because
I've been using dh-make-elpa a lot recently.  What do you think of
iteratively printing (filename\n) from a list generated from *.md and
*.org instead of checking for an *.md and writing "*.md\n"?  Then the
file (containing an \n separated list) could be copied/moved to
package1.docs and package2.docs and the items not relevant to
$packageX could simply be cut from its packageX.docs.  That's more or
less way I do it from the shell.

Also, if there will be package-name-based heuristics then I'm guessing
any potential-doc-type.files that match a hungry glob for "first"
could go into elpa-first.doc, anything that matches "second" and not
"first" would go into elpa-second.doc, and anything that doesn't match
either can go into something like needs-review.doc.  That last one
ought to produce a lintian error and force manual review.

Cheers,
Nicholas
