Yelp is good here, but you're right that it should probably be |
11 |
separated. |

Well, the reason I suggest making it a FEATURE instead of anything else |
22 |
is because that way we can include the whole package of man |
23 |
pages and documentation in built binary packages, but simply prevent it |
24 |
from entering the "final" system afterwards. |

This would probably just mean a few lines to check the feature, and if |
27 |
it exists, scan usr/share/doc and remove all files that want to install |
28 |
there... |

I'd say just a FEATURE, because it'd be cleaner configurationwise that |
35 |
way. No need in splitting it up in a case like this. |
