I maintain the mesa package. As no packages (before this) depended on
a libc5 version of mesa, I stopped including them. Adding them back
seems like a step backwards. It would be much better if you could

Bill's format is _easily_ machine readable -- you could slap together

I have reported this as a bug earlier. Just recently I discovered
a workaround. For instance, if the user id on the remote machine
is foo, then type
tar -cvf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:9Nov95.tar /home

[lestat:~]$ apropos ircII
ircII (1)- interface to the Internet Relay Chat system
My personal opinion is that apropos should do fuzzy matchs to catch
things like this. :)

The postinst steps through the tex directories and generates .el code
for auc-tex's use. This process can take a long time on slow
machines.
I decided to background it, and
