[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#852299: alsa-utils: ship alsaucm man page

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.1.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

since alsa-utils 1.1.3 alsa-utils ships a man page for the alsaucm
utility program.

It would be great if you can ship it in the debian package.

The unix man page is built from a reStructuredText source file using the
rst2man program which in Debian can be found in python-docutils
or python3-docutils; so build-depending on either one of these should be
enough to make the build system generate alsaucm.1.

If you are building from tarballs and alsaucm.rst is missing there, this
has been fixed after 1.1.3, see:
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-utils.git;a=commitdiff;h=c6bdde171e1532f7b37333a5a746b6e662f12c53

If this is the case tell if you want me to send a patch which adds
alsucm.rst at packaging time, until the next stable tarball.

Thanks,
   Antonio
