Hi,

https://www.debian.org/doc/ does not list
https://packages.debian.org/doc-debian.

I suggest, under "Manuals specific to Debian - Developers' manuals" an entry
"Debian Project documentation: Constitution, Debian Social Contract, DFSG and
other documents" linking to
https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#doc-debian.

And I suggest an update of https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals with
something like:
----

Debian Project documentation and other documents

This package contains

  * Debian Linux Manifesto,
  * Constitution for the Debian Project,
  * Debian Social Contract,
  * Debian Free Software Guidelines.

Additionally provided are:

  * Debian Bug Tracking System documentation, and
  * Introduction to the Debian mailing lists.

Authors:        The Debian Project
Maintainer:     Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña e.a.
Status: ready
Availability:   Debian package doc-debian
Latest version:

    English: https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution, https://www.debian.org/social_contract

The latest wml and txt sources are available through the Git repository.

    Web interface: https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/doc-debian
    VCS interface: git clone https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/doc-debian.git

TODO/FIXME: hrm, where are sources of
https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.da.html maintained?

Thanks, Bye,

Aha, thanks!  And we have
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/blob/master/english/devel/constitution.wml
too, which _also_ suffers from https://bugs.debian.org/896067 : "doc-debian:
missing text on https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution" .

Hrm, maybe the doc-debian package should get removed, and not shipped with
upcoming 11/bullseye release.  Currently, constitution.wml (the original
english one) is maintained in 2 different places in git at salsa: also at
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/doc-debian/-/blob/master/doc-debian/doc/constitution.wml
.... :(

I'll think a bit more about what's the right thing to do now...

Bye,

Joost
