But is it interesting to ship for the real case, or should it be in
a separate package? For example, I'm not sure that
/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-8.61/Humor.htm is really relevant in all cases.
Or should we not ship it at all? Sticking it in a separate package just
leads to the other problems of bloated metadata, etc. And that's a
really _dumb_ file :-)
