Hi,
Some users in crux@ have expressed the opinion that /usr/share/doc/HTML/en rooted documentation should not be removed, because it breaks every single KDE application's handbook. I also feel that KDE documentation is easily as useful as the mutt "?" handbook. Can I allow their installation for CRUX-2.2? I tend to think that whenever removing documentation breaks a menu item (or something else within apps), we should either include the docs or

Another nice approach might be to make the help menu point to http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/*/* but that's probably a lot of work, and I'm not sure if they provide docs for different versions of KDE. Both mutt and LyX are examples which ships the documentation linked from with the app, and I think it makes a lot of sense there. Also, considering the size of KDE and that the HTML doc probably doesn't make a big difference there, making an exception here is fine IMO. Finally, in the end it's really up to the maintainer to decide. The "remove junk files" rule is still one of our requirements for packages, so if a user will contact you you'll have to be able to explain why they're not junk files. I'm sure you'll manage :-).
