Hi,

Policy is not perfect. There is no valid reason to have a manpage for
something that can't be run from command line (running an applet from
the command line simple do nothing, it just hangs), applets are not in
the path, ...
You can compare applets to a plugin if you want, nothing in the policy
says that plugins have to get a manpage.

Could you provide more details of why you want it ? Please do just
answer "because policy says you need to provide a manpage", that's not a
good reason here.


Thanks,

Sebastien Bacher
