[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#502061: Bug#502061: mapserver: include a package for the mapserver tutorial

[Alan Boudreault]

Ok, now i understand better what you mean. It's not a bad idea, even if  
people that install mapserv should know it utility and it use. If 
Francesco agree, i'll try to just add a working demo in the 
mapserver-doc package when i'll update the debian package (probably when 
MapServer 5.2.1 will be released).

Thanks for the sugestion Oz.
