Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hello,

This is to request the removal of the devhelp-books source package
and all its binaries from testing and unstable.

Considering that many of the manuals are FDL that would have to be
[re]moved and that many of the other manuals which are not FDL are
outdated and there's no way to fix this in some cases (new versions
being FDL, for example), I think this packages' usefulness is today
almost none.

I checked the popularity contest and while devhelp the software
does have votes the books have none. That's because the most important
books are installed by the -doc packages of gtk, pango, etc these
days, so no need for such thing. Also, the users can grab books easily
from http://lidn.sf.net/.

Thanks,
