Of course. :) I am in an information gathering stage.

I am always interested in hearing peoples' words, but in this specific
case I am especially interested in hearing from the package maintainers
for the following packages:
	doc-linux-nonfree-html
	doc-linux-nonfree-text
It is my understanding they have the ultimate control over what files
actually go into a package. 

thanks,
