A .deb package named "gnu-doc" is now available on gNewSense repos to overcome this limitation from debian. More details on http://www.gnewsense.org/Projects/DocRejectedByDebian.

Many GNU packages do not include their GFDL-licensed documentation (in info texinfo format etc), because upstream (Debian) puts their doc in the "nonfree" section, because the GFDL isn't DFSG-compliant.

We should be able to just drag in the appropriate -doc packages from debian nonfree.

I think someone on the mailing list was working on this; someone should look and add them to the cc: of this ticket.

One specific package that has this missing is bash.
