Hi wonderful people!
I've been noticing that the CTAN team is wisely becoming reluctant to
install typeset versions of the dtx files, since they have a habit of
becoming outdated. This makes a lot of sense. However, I am now
hitting a new snag: when I want documentation on some packages when
using the Debian 2007 (testing) texlive packages, it seems that I have
to go to CTAN to download the documentation or dtx files. I don't
know whether this is because I simply haven't found the documentation
on my system or whether it's not been built. One example that I've
recently had was the changebar package.
I wonder whether it's feasible to automatically build the
documentation into the appropriate texlive packages?
