That comes from the elvis package. The MS-DOS stuff is probably because Debian tends to distribute all the documentation, even stuff pertaining to MS-DOS ports of various programs. Probably that's so packages don't have to be massively changed if they ever make a Debian MS-DOS distro ;) > There are directories /usr/lib/developers-reference, > /usr/doc/developers-reference and /usr/share/developers-reference. That comes from the developers-reference package. Every package makes a directory in /usr/doc that contains at least the changelogs and copyright information for the package. Any other random documentation (READMEs. FAQs, sample configurations, etc) for the package usually goes in there as well.
