Package: navit
Version: 0.1.1.~svn2246-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Configuration file (/etc/navit/navit.xml) is far too large (4425 lines) to be edited by humanoids. Who cares about the color of a can bin while he just wants to enable his GPS device in navit ?

So I think navit.xml should be splitted, *at least* for styles (called "layout"). Here is a proposal :

etc/
`-- navit
   |-- layouts
   |   |-- bike.xml
   |   |-- car-dark.xml
   |   |-- car.xml
   |   `-- t...@h.xml
   |-- mapsets
   |   |-- garmin.xml
   |   |-- openstreetmap.xml
   |   `-- reiserplanner.xml
   |-- navit.xml
   `-- vehicleprofiles
       |-- bike.xml
       |-- car.xml
       |-- horse.xml
       `-- pedestrian.xml

It gives navit.xml < 200 lines.
Inclusions can be done using xi:include directives.

What do you think about it ?

Anyway, thanks for packaging this must-have app !
