Package: cdebootstrap Version: 0.3.4 Followup-For: Bug #254248 I was a bit surprised to see a bug like 254248 being tagged as won't fix.
I had the very same question as the original poster of the bug and I see that the package maintainer has taken similar actions to patches (see bug #231711), without justifying the reason of his action. And, frankly, providing the one-liner description in the field of the "long description" is something quite unreasonable. The man page of cdebootstrap is not much better and even though bug #294487 was fixed, I feel that the documentation of the packgage is in desperate need of a facelift. The changelog is also quite "sparse", if you know what I mean. I would like to read the opinion of other users regarding this topic, which I think is of utmost importance for any decent operating system (otherwise, if documentation were not important, why would the project create all the fuzz to move things into non-free?).
