I would have greatly appreciated it if the emacs21-common-non-dfsg package was the default for "apt-get install emacs". I was interested in learning my way around the editor, and was somewhat shocked to find that while the tutorial was present, the manual was not.
If I wasn't familiar with apt, and with linux in general, I would have had an annoying time trying to figure out why I didn't have some docs, and as has been pointed out previously, there's no good reason for those docs not being there. I'm not familiar enough with the (apparently pretty harsh) politics surrounding this issue to even fathom why someone would think that not including the documentation for an app, but allowing the app to be installed (especially with a program like emacs) would be a good idea, other than saving disk space. -- Revert Debian's removal of the Emacs info files and several other files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/73840 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
