Nice feature, but not the Debian standard AFAIK. postinst should call install-info to make an entry in /usr/info/dir. And again: It's not okay to force every Emacs-user to load w3; postinst makes such an entry in site-start.el. I think, it would be a good idea to split the package: the w3 stuff as it comes from ftp.cs.indiana.edu and a minor package with the additional .el files. There's no need to change the name of the package (w3 -> w3-el). Thanks for all the work, Karl. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Karl Eichwalder : New bug report received and forwarded.
