Hi,

Can somebody clarify where should go the files mentioned in $SUBJECT if 
the package provides a -doc subpackage? It is obvious that the LICENSE 
file must go into the main package, but what about the others? There are 
packages, which has the $SUBJECT files in main package, but I think they 
should go into -doc subpackage. What else wold be the -doc subpackage 
purpose then?

BTW it would be nice if the guidelines could be clarified regarding this 
issue.

Thank you



Vit
