[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#470594: openssl: please create a separate openssl-doc package

[Martin Pitt]

Package: openssl
Version: 0.9.8g-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu hardy ubuntu-patch

Two thirds of the current openssl package is documentation, which is
quite large (640 kB). Since the documentation is not really
interesting for casual users, embedded software, etc, it would be nice
if it could be moved to a separate package.

Tested patch attached.

Thanks for considering,

Martin
