Since when is documentation which doestn't exist at all considered as a bug? Wikipedia says in the `Software Bug' as first sentence: A software bug is the common term used to describe an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in unintended ways Is the Debian definition of bug different from that? -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
