Package: hylafax
Severity: minor

1.  README.Debian says "All versions of hylafax disabled PAM when installed.".
NEWS.Debian says the same thing.  This sounds as if it means that
PAM is disabled for *all packages*, i.e., the whole system.
I assume it means that PAM support (?) is not enabled for hylafax
by default.  If I understood PAM better I'd offer some alternate
wording.

2. The instructions in README.Debian and QuickStart are a little puzzling
in view of the console log of the install.  I no longer have it in front
of me, but it seemed to be running faxsetup.  README.Debian, but not
the QuickStart, refers to this after a few paragraphs:
---------------
Please note that the faxsetup program is now integrated with the start/stop
script, so you may rerun faxsetup in order to select what protocol
servers to run.
-----------
Does this mean that you do not need to run faxsetup again?  Or that you
must run it if you want things to work properly?  What is the faxsetup
that happens during package install doing?  I would also put this first,
since it is the first thing that happens.

3. Step 3 of QuickStart seems dated in view of the discussion of part 2 of 
README.Debian.  More generally, the presence of a "Quick Start" section
in README.Debian (part 1) and a QuickStart file is at best redundant and at 
worst
contradictory.  It may be time to delete QuickStart.

4. (not really a documentation issue, though touched on in the README.Debian)
It seems odd that hylafax-server depends on hylafax-client.

5. If you retain QuickStart, maybe rename it QuickStart.Debian.

6. I'm a bit unclear about how automatic the detection of modems is supposed
to be, or what I need to do to set them up.  This is probably largely outside
the scope of this package, although some quick indications and pointers
might be nice.
