Allow me to be more specific: where did the rest of the vnc documentation go? I like unneccessary information and have trouble with the idea that the html markup in the obseleted vnc-doc package caused a 20-fold increase in its size. I dislike reading documentation on the internet. That is the dumb part. I will probably do a dpkg --force-depends on this, but that seems an ugly kludge.
