Man Pages missing, dependency missing

[Joi Owen]

Figuring out how to use this package requires studying the package file contents and the perl sources. The perl environment provides easy ways to create man pages from perl doc, but the package doesn't provide a dependency on the perl-doc package, either. I eventually figured out what I needed to do because I'm a perl developer already.

Could this package please:

  *) Provide /usr/share/doc/metainit/README
  *) /etc/metainit/SKELETON
  *) /usr/share/man/man3/MetaInit::Parse.3.gz, or more appropriately a man5/metainit file format man page
  *) a See Also section in the set of man pages that reference each other

Ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS
metainit 0.0.5

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I found a correspoding Debian bug report, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543397, though it only covers the manpage, so wasn't sure if I should add a bug watch. Since there hasn't been a new release of this package, the issue is still present in Zesty (and in-between releases).
