It is also the only package named *_debuginfo instead of *-debuginfo cdrkit-doc, fftw33-doc, flac-docs, gsl-doc, gtk-doc, ImageMagick-doc, libcaca-doc, libcloog-isl-doc, libdatrie-doc, libgmp-doc, libgstreamer1.0-doc, libisl-doc, liblapack-doc, libmpc-doc, libmpfr-doc, libpoco-doc, libsigc2.0-doc, libthai-doc, libunistring-doc, libxcb-doc, libxml2-doc, libxslt-doc, libxslt2-doc, llvm-doc, octave-doc, postgresql-doc, ppl-doc, qt4-doc, ruby-doc, texlive-collection-*-doc, tiff-doc: Not in Doc category The Doc category seems to have two different purposes: documentation, and tools to create documentation. Currently, there are far more of the former in this category. Should there be a new category for the tools? (e.g. gnome-doc-utils, man, manlint, pinfo, xmlto...) glproto, presentproto, xextproto, xproto: In Devel category, but not X11 category, yet they are part of X11. And, vice versa: the other *proto packages that are in X11 probably should be in Devel, too. [*] http://goo.gl/lu61sZ
