Package: eclipse-titan
Version: 6.3.1-1+b2
Severity: wishlist

The eclipse-titan package for Debian unfortunately does not include the official
documentation.  Normally, I would assume documentation is installed under
/usr/share/doc/$package - but there's nothing but the changelog and the 
copyright
statement there.  Not even a README file that points to
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/titan/TitanDocuments_6_3_0.zip

I suggest that due to their size, the PDF files should be packaged as 
eclipse-titan-doc.

However, it still makes sense to package them from the same debian source 
package,
to make sure that there's always a matching eclipse-titan-doc package for each 
eclipse-titan
package.

See also https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/1790623 where I describe 
that it's
actually quite hard to find the documentation today for a variety of reasons.

The binary tar-ball builds released by upstream TITAN for Ubuntu, SuSE and 
other distributions
(https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.titan/downloads)
include the PDF files, btw.  It appears that just the Debian package isn't 
shipping them.

Thanks!
