[PD-dev] Debian Policy for Pd packages

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey all,

Just finished a weekend long Debian Bug Squashing Party here in NYC.   
I discussed with a few Debian Developers how best to fit Pd's files  
into Debian Policy.  This is what we came up with.  Let me know what  
you guys think, and whether there are other things to add.

     * While .pd files are plain text, they are really like scripts  
most of all, and should be treated that way. That means they should go  
into /usr/lib/pd rather than the data dir /usr/share/pd
     *help patches are just Pd patches, which are just scripts, so it  
is also ok for them to be included in /usr/lib/pd.
     * Help patches are not really useful to read outside of Pd so the  
help patches should not go into `/usr/share/doc'
     * HTML, PDFs?, .txt, and READMEs? should go into /usr/share/doc  
like any other package

.hc
