Yeah, there a lot of Debian packages. If you have some time, you might help out some of the ones that you use that need some TLC. Install devscripts and run wnpp-alert. >What I notice is that /usr/share/info is sparse Info is not preferred by many outside of the GNU project.

I don't think what you mention is trash, since most of it is required (for good reasons) by Debian policy. Also, installing a few -doc packages generally fills it up with useful stuff. >Someone might be interested in a >couple of them. Well, they are in the source, unchanged.

A Debian user shouldn't be required to have a working, reliable connection to the Internet to answer the questions that these documents answer. >There is no libc.info.
