Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
When I open devhelp to read the API documentation for libudev, the documentation is mostly blank, and does not fully document libudev the way the online version does at http://
It is either incomplete in this version of libudev, or not being generated correctly by the package build.

As far as I can tell, the gtkdocize tool generates a makefile that doesn't work right from a build directory. The way it's all set up, if you run the configure in the source directory, then cd into libudev/docs and run make there, you'll get correct documentation files... but only if you don't modify the gtk-doc.make with the sed statement in the debian/rules 'prep' target. After that, a make distclean will actually leave those generated documents where they are. For what it's worth, I'd add an extra step to the build to have it do that just to get them right. I'll see if I can write a patch for it.
