Comment 11 for bug 77138

@Mathias: Indeed, probably most index.sgml.gz are not on the live CDs, it's just that the tool by default will compress most files and we need to specifically exclude index.sgml by hand. The live CD example was one of why we need to save space and compress files below /usr/share/doc by default.

Concerning gnome-dbg and gnome-doc: first, please file a separate bug; second, there's a gnome-dbg and by pure coincidence we also discussed a gnome-doc meta package recently on #gnome-debian (where the Debian packaging of GNOME packages is often discussed). I think this makes sense, and we might add such a meta package soon.
