Package: debconf-doc
Version: 1.5.19
Severity: minor

Hello,

Reading debconf-doc descrition, I'm expecting to find 
- lots of documentation
- a user guide
- and a developper guide

really overstated for a package containing a bunch of man pages.

Related to Bug#466087, 
Why the existance of this package at all and not merging all of its
content in debconf ?

changelog.gz almost weights 1/4 of the package size..
