Dear maintainer,

This library lacks manual pages for the available functions, which seems
to be a violation of the Debian Policy.

Cheers,
Alex

This is an *extremely* widespread violation of policy at this point...
it'd be nice, certainly.

Hi Mark,

Heh, that's true.  :')

I'm going to use zlib in the near future in my job, so I can write some
manual pages for the functions I use.  I'll keep upstream in the loop,
in case they want to pick the pages.  I will probably only write pages
for the functions I use, though, of course.

Cheers,
Alex

That'd be excellent!

Hi Mark!

I've already got one page written.  Since we're so close to the release of
Bookworm, I guess it's not allowed, not even if it's fixing a policy
violation, and is only documentation.

But maybe it would be interesting to backport (as a bugfix) the manual pages
once the release is made?

Here's the pull request to the upstream project, which I hope will go it
smoothly: <https://github.com/madler/zlib/pull/821>.

Cheers,
Alex
