The Debian TeX sub-policy
Footnotes

1

This is new, and the basic TeX packages currently transition their files to the new place.

2

Of course this is only a problem if the file is needed in the configure phase. If it is needed only at runtime, a README file to instruct the local admin should be sufficient.

3

A wishlist bug on the shadowing package, blocked by an other wishlist bug on the basic TeX package, can help tracking these issues.

4

This allows users to say texdoc packagename directly. Otherwise they will first have to find the right command line (e.g. texdoc packagename/user.dvi) using texdoc -s keyword

5

Note that in texmf.cnf, as well as in the sequence of multiple texmf.cnf files that are read, earlier entries override later ones.
