this package is mostly empty

[salva]

The package is describes as ...

  "Description-en: documentation for Embeddable Common-Lisp
      Contains the Info and HTML documentation."

But then, the package doesn't contain anything like that:

$ dpkg --listfiles ecl-doc
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/info
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/ecl-doc
/usr/share/doc/ecl-doc/copyright
/usr/share/doc/ecl-doc/NEWS.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/ecl-doc/changelog.Debian.gz

Thanks for reporting.

Indeed, this package is rather empty. I wanted to figure out why so I started digging into the Debian changelog for this package[1], and I found the following in version 11.1.1-1: * Temporarily disable doc build (fails)
Since the documentation is no longer built, that explains why the package contains less than it (presumably) had in the past.

I also found the following entry in 15.3.7+dfsg1-1: * drop ecl-doc -- should be reintroduced from the separate ecl-doc source
So it looks like after being disabled due to build failures, the documentation package has been removed. Since 15.3.7+dfsg1-1 has been synced to Ubuntu Wily already, this can be verified there. I haven't seen any sign of the mentioned ecl-doc, so I don't know how far into the future that might be.

With that said, I'm not quite sure how to proceed with this bug report. The nearly-empty package is gone, so it could be argued that this issue is fixed, on the other hand the documentation package now seems to be missing. What do you think? :)
