Would we have to move every piece of Doxygen-generated documentation into a separate package so that we could put it in contrib, or strip it from our packages? Maybe someone has fixed this in Doxygen somehow? This is typical of the sorts of problems that I would expect. It would surprise me if this were a smaller project than the GFDL purging. It might be quite a bit larger. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
