Package: geneweb
Version: 6.03-1
Severity: normal

In the manual page for gwc it states

  The  primary  documentation  of gwc is in the HTML documentation, which
  you can find in the documentation directory (/usr/share/doc/geneweb  on
  Debian systems).

  Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation.

This instruction is also repeated in the manual page for the other
geneweb binaries consang, ged2gwb, gwb2ged, gwd, gwu.

However the directory /usr/share/doc/geneweb (or sub-directory thereof)
contains no HTML files and a symbolic link to its-self

  0 lrwxrwxrwx    1 root root     23 2012-02-28 16:08 doc_choice -> 
/usr/share/doc/geneweb//

The lack of documentation makes creation of the geneological databases
for use by GeneWeb a severe hurdle for new users.

The manual page for gwc also states

  SEE ALSO
       gwc2(1)

but there is no manual page for gwc2 (nor corresponding binary to use).

Please would you consider including HTML documentation with this package.
