Package: bacula-doc
Version: 1.36.3-2
Severity: normal

$apt-show-versions -a bacula-doc
bacula-doc      1.36.3-2        install ok installed
No testing version
No unstable version

I suspect from some of the comments in the Debian.changelog, and the
absence of bacula-doc from the binary package list at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bacula.html, that this package is no
longer provided.

The changelog wasn't completely clear to me, because the reference

bacula (1.38.9-8) unstable; urgency=low
  * Remove old bacula-doc files.

could mean
1) old files removed, current ones kept
2) remove some files, keep others
3) remove files, keep package
4) move files and package to a separate source
5) eliminate bacula-doc completely.

If my understanding (that it's interpretation 5) is correct, this
raises two issues:

First, if you could indicate in some more public way (e.g.,
NEWS.Debian) that the package is gone, and what some recommended
alternatives are (e.g., get your favorite form of documentation from
the site), that would be good.

Second, perhaps the 1.38 packages should conflict with bacula-doc so
that people don't end up with the actual program at version 1.38 while
they look at 1.36 documentation.
